Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip


For the weekend we took a trip down to Wagon Train State Recreational Area with Aaron and Whitney Hill. It was all sorts of wonderful "smelling like campfire for the next week" fun.

We spent Friday night and Sunday night there (coming home Saturday night so we could make it to church Sunday AM).

It was Emilia's first camping trip and she did pretty well. Sure, it completely messed up her sleeping schedule and she trouble eating because she was constantly distracted by something. It was great though.

Here are some pictures.


We have a huge tent. It seemed silly when we first bought it, because it was so enormous for just Julianne and I. But now it is perfect! We can fit Emilia, our queen sized air mattress and still have enough room for about 3 more pack-n-plays! Don't worry, that wasn't a sneaky announcement that we're expected triplets. WE'RE NOT!


One of the most delicious bad decisions I have ever made.


The girls are just too cute. Once Julianne gets a little sun, her freckles start to come out super fast. I love it! We're curious if Emmie will get freckles or not.


Emmie didn't like it when I took her out in the water - I think it was too cold for her. Or, perhaps she is scared of fish like her mom. She did enjoy putting hand-fulls of sand, rocks and algae into her mouth though - made for a healthy lunch.



She liked crawling around in the tent. It was like her own little private playroom.


When we came back on Sunday, we brought her little walker-bike thing. She loved it and scooted (backwards) all over the campsite.


The Hills brought their chocolate lab Titan with. Emilia couldn't get enough of him.
