It was a beautiful day, we decided to do this since school was finally out and it's my last week of maternity leave :( not looking forward to Monday at all! Well I kind of am, but we won't go there right now. We got up to Whitetail around 11:30, we unloaded, got everything situated and headed up to the pool. Nikki, Grandma and Lexi drove up later and got there around 2:00 and so did Justin and Jake, they had ball practice or something so they arrived about 2:30. We were already at the pool, I wanted to see how Cooper would do this time, it was so nice out. Cooper ate and slept all while waiting for everyone to arrive. I didn't want to get him in the water until everyone else got there just in case, I only wanted to get him in once because the water was a little chilly.
Getting all ready to go camping, see my new shirt? It says "Camping is Yummy" and it's a little raccoon roasting a Smore's and of course we had to have to have one, Cooper got it in other ways but I think he liked it.
Matt and Cooper hanging out before heading up to the pool.
Coop doing a little sunbathing! He loves the sun.
Hanging with Grandma after his nap. He's just waiting to get into the pool.
I didn't get any pics of him in the water because my phone battery went dead but he did love it, we were in the water for about a half an hour. He squealed for just a bit but once he got used to the water he loved it.
After swimming we came back to the camper and hung out. Nikki picked up Papa Murphy's pizza so we started cooking them and of course had to eat lots of snacks. Grandma made her taco dip, it was so good. We played a little volleyball and finally started a fire.
Later on after it got dark and we got all the beds ready, it was crowded in the camper but it was so worth it, we played Shit On Your Neighbor card game, we didn't play for money, but Justin brought all his change out of his car so we played with money just so we could eliminate the losers. Justin got all his money back, but Grandma was the big winner.
Here are the 4 kids on one side of the picnic table where we were playing cards.
And here we were on the other side.
Not sure what Justin is doing here, probably counting his money.
And the big challenge of the night, where was everyone going to sleep. Mom and Nikki discussing something, who knows!
Mom showing Grandma where she was sleeping, those two slept in my bed. I'm not sure what Nikki is doing. Must be posing for the camera.
Cooper knew where he was sleeping, he fell asleep about 8:30 in Great Grandma's arms, she knows how to get him to sleep. And she slept through all the commotion
I'm not sure where the kids ended up sleeping because they were in and out of the camper all night switching spots, but here is where they were when I was taking pictures.
Justin on one of the bunks, he was almost too big, or I should say long, because he kept hitting his feet.
Jake on the other bunk, across from Justin, I think he slept here.
Matt on the couch bed, I know he didn't end up here because this is where I slept and Nikki ended up with me. Matt was going to sleep with me but ended up with Lexi on the couch by the bunks.
Bright light - the flash on my camera was super bright.
Jake posing for the camera!
Justin posing or something. LOL
And Matt's pose!
Poor Lexi! All she wanted to do was sleep.
And mom and Grandma sleeping in our bed, they slept good!
Mom and Grandma were in bed around 10 or so and the rest of us stayed up for a little while, the kids were in and out of the camper, they either were not comfortable or they were figuring out a different place to sleep. Nikki and I hung out by the fire until about 1:00. The boys and Lexi all came out for Smore's and a hot dog!
Sunday morning we got up cooked breakfast and headed back home. It was a great night, I'm exhausted tonight, I had to teach Jazzercise, and I'm ready for bed!
