Cedarlane 2013

Our second camping trip of the summer was to Cedarlane from June 13th-16th.  We had been to the doctor earlier in the week due to three out of four kids struggling to get rid of persistent coughs.  Everyone checked out okay then, but our first night in the camper (Thurs.), Jaxson was up all night coughing, crying, and complaining of ear pain.  Friday morning we drove back home to the doctor to get Jaxson checked out again...double ear infection!  No wonder!

The rest of the weekend was nice though.  I just love this first batch of pictures of us around the campfire.  I think this is what camping is all about...just hanging out together, talking, laughing, being silly, making special treats.  I hope they remember these moments that we'll continue to have throughout the years!

Some random stuff...swinging and shootin' hoops on the playground.

Scrambled eggs in a baggie one morning...just place egg(s) and all desired fixings into a baggie, squeeze together, place into boiling water atop the campfire.

My dad came over from the marina Saturday evening so we could treat him to a pre-Father's Day dinner!

Making "banana boats," as we called them.  Packed bananas with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, wrapped in foil, warmed on the fire.  Yum!
