Greta's First Camping Trip

Due to a miscommunication mix up, we ended up going camping with friends the same weekend that we left for the cottage with Joe's family.  We had a great time at each place, but we sure were tired by the end!  I was going to put them in the same post, but I'll have to get to cottage pics later!

We took our first trip of the year (and Greta's first camping trip ever) to Woodchip Campgrounds in Byron Center.  We had a Groupon, so that was nice:).  We had never been there before.

These are the three cute new additions to the group, Greta, Deacon and Lincoln...

In the baby jail:)...

Buddies...

Layla, Kali, random kid, Mason, Jonathan, Gibs and Maddy...

Layla LOVED climbing this and was pretty proud of herself.  She loves climbing things and such since taking gymnastics this summer.

While we were there, Layla and I had a "sprinkle" (like a mini shower) for my cousin Mandi's new baby Zachary.  It's so fun to be able to take Layla to these types of things. 

Mandi with cute snuggle bug Zachary.  He's such a little honey and I can't believe how tiny he seems to me!

With their cute and delicious cake...

Again, practicing her gymnastics...

And Gibs wanted to join in...

Greta and Deacon locked up...

We got a new trailer this summer which was fun to try out for the first time!

Eating a yummy camping snack (not sure what to call them--crescent rolls wrapped around a dowel and then roasted over the campfire and then filled with pudding and rolled in butter and cinnamon and sugar).

Messy kids eating their snacks on the playground...

Kipton and Ella came to visit Saturday night and loved it so much they are going to join us for our next trip!  They also loved Greta:).  Greta was drinking her bottle--that's why she's in her carseat.

 Goofballs...

 She was trying to get out of our camper door so I had to block it off with bar stools:)...

 Layla was trying to be helpful and get Maddy and Gibs to be in the pic:)...

Layla and Gibs thought it was pretty cool sleeping on bunk beds.  They were supposed to be sleeping nicely in the dark trailer, but instead, this is what I saw.  It did make me laugh.  The first few times.  :)
