Ryan had 3 days off so we figured before the summer got away from us that we needed to go camping. We have all the stuff and rarely use it. So yesterday was the day. We went about 25 miles from home. We went to a state park so it had bathrooms, toys for the kids to play on and was very well groomed. So, in other words, or more so Ryan's words, we went foo foo camping. But we are a family with 3 little kids and I think foo foo is all we can do right now. 
We set up camp last night, played a little catch, and of course made smores. Once it got dark we tried to settle into our tent. The kids just didn't want to go to sleep and it was close to 10:30. We told some stories and finally they konked. Little Miss Cassidy is my favorite person in the world now because she slept all through the night with just one little peep that was quickly resolved with the binkie. I was so SO happy. I woke up at 6:30 and peeked in on her to see if she was okay and she was awake just looking around. Her hands were freezing so after some cuddling she went back to sleep.
This morning we had chocolate milk and donuts. Again, foo foo camping. We played around at the playland and played catch some more. Then we went fishing for a bit because Aidan was "hungry for fish." No luck though.
Lacey and Aidan loved camping. Lacey told me as we were walking to the bathroom, "Thank you for taking us camping. It is beautiful here. You helped dad put up the tent. That's important." She was so adorable.
