Fun Kids Day

Dana and Doug have to go back to work so I get to spend the day with the kids and we had a big task to do today :). Last week when we did the Train Ride there were coupons attached :)... $2 off each admission to the Imagination Works (Kids indoor science center)... I was shocked how small it was though. I guess I'm a big city girl *lol*... but it worked... it didn't keep the kids too occupied though. Next on the coupon list was a free ride on the carousel :)... did that too... and then we drove a few blocks down the road and parked downtown and went to every 'free gift' location that was on the list. It was pretty awesome... so we were just collecting free gift items all day and when we were done it was time to head home and make dinner.

Camping Trip

Snowflake came back home after not being seen for 2 weeks... it was an excitement.
Fun times in the backyard


Zucchini Muffins

The Storm is rolling in...

Ready to go camping...

Doug pulled the trailer with Middy and Dana and I filled up the little car with the munchkins
What a view
View from the Campsite!!! Breath Taking
The kids were in the water as soon as they got out of the car


Before we could put up the tent we needed to wait that storm going through... hail came down fingernail size big... it was pretty crazy but as soon as it came it went away again and we started setting up the rest of the stuff and made dinner...


The dinner we had to have inside the camper as well because another storm came down! It was quite interesting how quick they come and go...
Night Walk

Sunset... breath taking

Breakfast... YUM YUM YUM... and the kids were already in the water at 8am the next morning!!!





One of the camp hosts told us that with the storms that came in the night before a car on the campsite got struck by lighting. We had to go and check it out...
You can see the lighting struck on the side and went into the ground right next to the tire leaving a little hole
Walk



Lunchtime
Hanging out in the camper watching a movie, the kids were so exhausted :)

Roasting Marshmallows...


Uncle Doug also took the kids fishing
Way home... boy the kids were exhausted ;)... Henry's legs look like little boy legs, totally scratched and boo boos... they had a ton of fun :)
