Camping with MomMom, PopPop and Aunt Amanda
We had the pleasure of camping with MomMom and PopPop again this June. Aunt Amanda also came to visit before she headed to South Africa to get married. They came to visit for 2 weeks and we camped with them for several days during their visit. We really enjoyed camping on Falls Lake. We had two sites close to the lake so there was easy access to the water. The boys swam like fish in lake. Each of them gained new confidence each time we went swimming.
Brett and Breandan spent a lot of time moving the rocks and dirt around the campsite. We also made smores a couple of nights. We tried to teach them some campfire songs but I thinnk it will be awhile before they can appreciate "Alice the Camel" at the campfire. They also rode their scooters while PopPop traveled by bike. We also took along our wagon for some walks to the bath house.
Brett enjoyed talking to the Park Rangers. They were gracious to answer all his questions about their job and uniform. When a lost dog ran through our campsite, Brett was ready to call on the rangers for help.
We had a great time hanging out with Aunt Amanda. It was really nice to have some extended time with her before she is gone for awhile. We were really excited to celebrate an early birthday with her too. Although Brett couldn't keep the party a surprise we all had fun. After we explained that Amanda flying back to Marlyland and then South Africa Brett and Breandan became very interested in all the airplanes that we saw and heard. Each time a plane flys over they boys would wave to Aunt Amanda. Now a couple of weeks later she is still flying on all the airplanes.
We are all ready looking forward to our next camping adventure.... We would love to camp again soon~ Anyone ready to go?
