Memorial Day Camping Trip

Over Memorial Day we went to Lake Casitas to go camping for a few days with some friends from church. It was a lot of working getting there, but once we got camp set up it was a wonderful few days relaxing and enjoying God's creation. Thanks for going with us Pat and Christina! We had a wonderful time with you and your family!

We spent one morning on a bike ride around the campground and a portion of the lake. Micah loved being in the lead.

Here comes the gang

The weather there was HOT, so we enjoyed cooling off in the ice cold water of the water park. Here's everyone floating down the lazy river.

Ashlyn wasn't too excited about the water, but she gradually warmed up to it by the second day.

Abby and Ashlyn ~ so cute!

Micah discovered this rock and thought it would be wonderful to climb!

Ashlyn always enjoys piggyback rides.

The kids all had fun throwing rocks in the little creek.


And Micah was eager to get into that water. Pants? No problem... just pull them up as high as possible and they won't get wet.

Digging was another great thing about camping... there's dirt everywhere and nobody cares if you dig it all up.

3 of the kiddos... ready to eat

Micah discovered that he loves burned marshmallows. Not sure if its because of the taste, or because it looks cool while its burning.

Ashlyn just likes eating them with chocolate and graham crackers.

All gone!

Mmmmm! Now that looks good!

This little scooter was a recent garage sale find and Ashlyn was determined to try to follow Micah on his bike.

Playing around the campsite.




Micah loved that he could get on his bike at any time and just ride in the circle around our campsite. It was a great spot for him, and a blessing from the Lord since our reservations were made last minute for a sold out weekend.

Stacking up the firewood for a BIG fire!


Enjoying the campfire!
