Memorial Day Weekend 2009

I know that I am a little late in posting, but things are pretty busy over here! This is the last week of school (WOO HOO), we are moving back to Kalamazoo on Saturday (mixed emotions), and we leave for Mexico on June 12!! I cannot wait to actually breathe and relax in a few short weeks!!

Back to the reason for this post - Memorial Day Weekend we went camping with three other families, the Staals, the Littles, and the Rodenhouses and we had SO much fun! It was lots of week and I think we are finally (almost) recovered! This was our first real camping experience with the boys although we did go with Brett's parents over Labor Day weekend last year for a few nights. I don't count that as our first real camping since we weren't really in charge of all of the food and we didn't camp on our own!

Friday night we packed up and headed to the house in Kalamazoo because we needed to mow the lawn and get all of our camping gear at the house. We left late Saturday morning and packed ourselves into the car pretty tightly!! I told Brett that this will be the first and last big trip in one of our cars!!

The boys had so much fun! Brady loved being able to sleep in the tent and thought it was so cool that we were camping! He got along really well with Lily and Jackson was happy to play in the dirt!

Here are some picture highlights of the weekend!! I took a lot of pictures and I can't narrow down which ones to post :) Sorry for SO many pictures :) We are talking about making this a tradition and I think it's a great idea!!
