Summer Camping Trip

The last weekend in August our family packed up the camping gear and luckily carpooled with my brother's family (no way we could have fit it all in our car with 2 kids) and headed in the direction of Corning, Iowa to spend the weekend at Lake Icaria with my Aunt Martha and Aunt Mary and their families.

Tyler said he was being a "big helper" while helping daddy pound in the tent stakes.
Our home away from home - including Hannah's pack & play. Everyone thought we were crazy for taking a newborn camping, but she slept just great all night long both nights in the tent!!Two happy kids Saturday morning awake and ready to go get breakfast by the campfire.
Hannah's first boat ride. On our way to play at the beach.
She was not too happy about the life jacket, but liked the bumpy boat ride!
Tyler loved playing with his 1st and 2nd cousins at the beach - swimming, digging in the sand, and making sand castles.
Cousin Kelsey playing in the water.This is how Hannah spent her time at the beach - chillin' in the shade with Mom.
After lunch Hannah stayed at the campsite with Aunt Mary and Tyler got lots of time in the boat and riding on the tube, once with Dad...
...and once with MomThen we went swimming and parked down in "Party Cove" for some snacks...
...followed by nap time!
Cuddling by the campfire with my little camper. We had a fantastic time until we had to pack up too soon on Sunday before a thunderstorm hit. Can't wait to go again!
