Annual Labor Day Camping Trip!

Every year we go camping at American Heritage and we usually take Michael's parents trailer, but this year we stayed in a little cabin instead. I have to tell you I wasn't really looking forward to it. When I say little cabin...I mean tiny!!! Plus the amount of moss on the roof of the cabin had me a little worried about the condition of the inside.
 
 

I was thankfully and pleasantly surprised when I opened the door and found this very clean, nice smelling, cedar lined cabin.


We had planned that Michael would be sleeping in a tent with the boys, but after the first night and Michael having a horrible night sleep we all slept in the cabin. Owen was on the top bunk and Ella and Jack slept together on the bottom bunk.


Zeke slept in his pack and play and he slept great the whole trip! Since we've come home is another story. I think he's going through a growth spurt because he's been waking up once every night.


Do you think she's just a wee bit excited???


Once our friends showed up we got the fire started. See the tent in the background? That's where Michael and the boys slept the first night. Once we knew they weren't going to sleep in it again we just let all those boys play in it, jumping on the air mattress and wrestling. They had so much fun they ruined the tent. It was already in pretty bad shape...we've had it since we first got married, but they put the final nail in the coffin for it. After that we just had the air mattress out on the grassy air so the kids could play. They ran and jumped on it over and over and it never popped. Seriously it was one of  the best things that entertained the kids.


My little pyro! He was CONSTANTLY asking us if he could light sticks on fire and he was always going around gathering up the dirty paper plates so he could toss them in the fire.
 
 
Mr. Fred aka The Woodsman!
 
 
My handsome man!
 
 
Zeke is the youngest baby we've ever taken camping and he was super easy. Over the weekend he started chewing his fist and hasn't stopped....I think teething is on the horizon!
 
 
Playin' card! We also learned a new dice game called Farkle...the boys love it!
 
 
The absolute best form of entertainment was our little motorcycle. They even hooked up the bike trailer so the little kids could get driven around. I think Michael ended up filling it up with gas 3 times over the weekend. It was great fun!

  1. Is that at a KOA? We love KOA Kamping Kabins! We stayed at a KOA in Yellowstone, and our kabin had 2rooms, a kichen, beds for all of us, and our own private bathroom. When we go to the Everglades next year we are staying at one on the Gulf Coast that is like a little house. I can't wait!
