warning... super long post!
Poppi is in the driver seat of his motor home.... taking his twin grand babies on their first camping trip. Ellie is acting as his co-pilot. We are heading up to Cloverdale for a week of fun!
Grandma Mar prepared lots of good meal for all of us... Lola is helping her prepare this meal! What a big helper Lola
Lola would not put down her blankie the entire week... she was a bit like Linus in Charlie Brown, as you can imagine it was so dirty by the end of the trip. The first night we had a campfire. We rosted marshmallow and ate smores. The girls didn't partake ...maybe next year!
Haven, Auntie Mo, Me, Lola, Aiden, Poppi, Athena, Grandma Mar, Ellie
Uncle Matt teaching Aiden to make smores...Aiden was a good student!

MMM....Our Cabin.... Mo and I shared this cabin with five kiddos.... Man did the cousins have fun! Needless to say Mo and I didn't get much sleep, by the end of the week Mo was sleeping in the Motor Home, but we survived!
The Cabin had a great Porch swing which helped put the little ones to sleep!
Good thing .... because they were so tired from staying up to late jumping on the bed....
and hiding between the bunks....
By the end of the week the kiddos grew. Austin and Travis are Athena and Haven's cousin and the other guy (far right) in the picture we don't really know, we think he was from the next store camp site :)
We spent many hours playing at the pool. Though on this trip the girls preferred to play on the pool deck and not in the pool, Who knows?
Ellie trying to sun bath!
Lola all smiles in the sun!
Ellie did let Poppi take her swiming for a little bit.
Aiden found this cup of worms the first hour of the camping trip. They became his appendage. Everywhere Aiden went, the worms were sure to go! What a cutie!

Ellie's new word in swing, that is all she wanted to do. She woke up in the morning saying "swing, swing" We spent a lot of time at the campground playground. Athena and Haven loved to push them!
