Camping with Grandpa & Grandma

We have been wanting to go camping all summer and now we finally got our chance to go. It was not as long as we would have liked but with Garrett's work schedule and other events it worked out ok. We went to Scootney about 30 minutes from our house, we needed some place close.
The park was really nice, we were really happy with the area. We got out there around 3:30pm which as alot later than we had planned on going but Chad and Jande's house got broken into over night so we went out to help them clean up the mess.
We were so happy that Sarah and Grandpa and Grandma McGary were able to come camping with us. It is always nice spending time with the family. Mary was also able to come down and eat dinner with us. We enjoyed boating during the day. I forgot to take my camera out on the boat :( After some time in the water we ate dinner, played around for awhile and then went to bed. The kids did great. This was our first real camping trip.

Sarah and the girls. They always have a great time when Sarah is around. We will miss her when she goes next year to school. Sarah was giving Madalyn some good advice about Kindergarten, like where to sit on the bus, what clothes to wear, what things to ask. It was really funny, but Madalyn was listening to every word she said.

Grandma helping the girls blow up some toys to play with.
Madalyn is exploring some great bike paths. It was a great idea to take the bikes. We really enjoyed our SHORT over night camping trip.

That looks like a lot of fun! Looks like you guys have been busy (fun times) between Garrett Running, School starting, Potty training, an even a flat tire! I am so sorry. Well hopefully things will slow down. right???! We will keep Garrett in our prayers and hope for the promotion for him. He did so well he should be proud of himself no matter what happens. Love you guys!
