We love to camp. We’ve been camping every Memorial Day weekend with the same group of friends since long before we were married. Conveniently, some of our very good friends have children similar in age to ours, which has made continuing to have family outings together easy. Many of these outings have inspired camping posts from year to year. This trip was so pleasant and wonderful that I’d like to share a few photos.
While the big kids were off on a biking adventure, AJ & Jon took our 5 year-olds for a little kid adventure. Timmy was careful to take his reusable water bottle with him.

When I asked Christor if there were any foods that he made on his Cub Scout camping trip that he’d like to do on our trip, he said “roasted gummy bears.” As a parent, I do not recommend the gooey mess they become, but our friend’s son enjoyed making spider webs before eating his.
Our friends brought kayaks and Ellie was so capable she took Timmy out for a ride a couple of times!
Timmy loved the kayaks!

Timmy asked me to take this picture of him eating a s’more and to share it! He loves his s’mores!
Our kids got pretty good at spotting frogs in the pond
Ellie and Timmy had a great time at the beach!

My family and I always went camping for Memorial Day (my parents still do). We always stayed at a campground across the street from the beach. I grew up doing that and hope to do that with my own kiddos one day!
