Happy Campers!

We've been on 3 camping trips so far this year.  Vera has quickly learned what camping is, and she really loves it!

The first trip was at Ft. Loramie with grandma and the rest of the Bertke family.  Blake came to visit for an afternoon, and they did some swimming together.

Vera's hat got wet, and then it was more like a blinder than a hat.  haha


Our second camping trip was to Huggy Bear in Van Wert.  We borrowed uncle Brian's camper and we went with grandma, Mandy, Jeff, Blake, Karen, and the Bruns family.  Brian's camper was perfect for our family.  Aunt Karen slept with Vera in the bunk.  It was hot and we had lots of fun swimming.

It was really hot on Sunday as we were cleaning up to go home.  We put Vera and Blake in the camper in the A/C to play around for a while.  They were out of the sun and out of the way. 


Our last trip was with the Magoteaux family to Natural Springs in New Paris.  Uncle Brian was nice enough to lend us his camper for this trip too.  It was a memorable trip filled with good food, swimming, bike rides, "time-outs," rain, ball games, bumps and bruises, sand castles, a bee sting, putt-putt golfing, vomiting, and plenty of playing. 


Vera is playing with the toy that was the biggest hit of the weekend, a tape measure.  Reece is playing with one of his favorite things, baseball.


The guys did a great job doing all the cooking!


We did find a little time to relax.

Vera and Ryan played puppies a few times. 

She has him eating out of her hand already.  :)

Putt-Putting was fun.  The Magoteaux family had the perfect sized putter for 2 year-olds.


Here are the puppies again.


After the rain, the sun came out for a short bit and we went to play in the sand at the beach.




Ryan, Vera and Angela made this sand castle...
...but the little ones thought it was more fun to stomp on the castles they made.

We had a good time on all of our trips.  Thanks to Angela and Mandy for some of these pictures.
