Camping at Yogi Bear!

We went camping last wednesday through Sunday at Yogi Bear in Grand Haven! We had a blast! We camped with some friends of ours and their girls too! All of the kids did so good! The first night Gav and Teagyn both woke up in the night. Gavyn because he heard the train "cho choing" and it scared him, (I reassured him that the train is just carring boxes of food to meijer's to drop it off- and it worked) the next night he woke up but didn't cry! I think Teagyn was just plain scared to death when he woke up in unfamiliar surroundings! But after that night they both slept awesome! It rained, and I do mean rained, on Saturday it was quite boring sitting under the awning for about 2 hours especially with Teagyn all he wanted to do was get down and crawl in the mud! So that was a bit challenging but we got through it!
Each morning we would go down to the pavillion, where Boo Boo Bear comes out, and all of the kids follow him over to the flag pole to say the pledge of alligance, and raise the flag! Followed by hugs of course! I think we swam at least twice a day! All of the kids loved the pool! It was heated and oh so warm! Relaxing campfires at night, good food! It was so nice to get away- even though we werent too far away! I love to only have a 15 minute ride home to get everthing unpacked! I even finished up the last load of laundry this morning, already! Good friends- good times! Here are some pics from the weekend! I can't wait to back next year!

This is so cute! Teagyn was playing peek a boo with maddie!

SUPER cute pics Brandi! I haven't attempted camping with Ethan yet...you are my hero!!! We were at a birthday party on Sat and it was challenging enough trying to keep ONE kid somewhat clean and dry - at least until after we ate!!
