We took Brock and Ella camping this weekend. It was our first camping trip with the kids, and aside from all of the malfunctions when we first arrived, it turned out to be a really fun time! Within 10 minutes of arriving, Brock started taking pictures, and he only got a couple in before the camera died. We didn't bring the charger, so most of the pics are taken from our phones. It was pretty hot out there, but the wind made it tolerable. We didn't go swimming because of the strong wind, and while me and Brock were trying to catch frogs, I noticed how many dead crawdads were at the bottom of the lake. That freaked me out, so I promised to take the kids swimming at Grammie and Papa's when we got back. The kids had a lot of fun with squirt guns, fishing (Brock and Ella caught TONS of bluegill), hiking, jelly beans (thanks, Grammie!), catching frogs, playing catch, skipping rocks, and playing with worms!

Fun with bandages!
If Ella does it, Brock has to do it, too!
