Happy 4th!

To celebrate the 4th of July, we decided at the last-minute to do some camping at the Thobe's pond in Willowdell for the weekend.  The weather was fairly cooperative and the kids played hard.  They enjoyed sparklers, snaps, and glow sticks in the evenings.  During the day, we did a little swimming, cooking, and relaxing.  We were filthy dirty when we came home and totally exhausted, but we had a fun weekend.
Vera had a great time with the Thobe kids.  I think we came home with a whole sandbox of sand!
Vera and Vince went on their first paddleboat ride.  Vinners isn't in these pictures, but he went on Saturday.  He sat super still as he cruised along.

I did capture pictures of his first four-wheeler ride, though the picture isn't the greatest.  He loved it!

Busy floating.  Vera did so well floating in her life jacket.  She loved the gray raft and playing pretend with it.  

Vin had fun with this firetruck over the weekend.  He can be a challenge on camping trips--he can't walk, everything goes in his mouth, and he just wants to go!  So, we stay very busy keeping one eye on him and finding things to keep him out of trouble!

He seriously learns something new every single day!
He attempted to drink this water all weekend.  C'est la vie with a toddler...
