2013 camping

Despite the colder temps and wet weather... we've actually done a great job at getting out and camping this June! Saturday, 6/8/13 - Here we are at Jakway Park just south of Aurora. Our family has never been here before, but would definitely go back! Our kid hike ;) how many can the Burley hold??

Lots of space and a really big fire ring in the middle. Except that it burned wood like a furnace it was great :D

Sean Baragary even made an appearance ;)

Saturday the 13th was the first time we have been camping and the. sun. came OUT! We were not really sure what to do :) We weren't freezing, the wind wasn't blowing... it was perfect :)

Took a walk down to the bird blind and got a work-out pushing the Burley with 4-kids in it :) Sara, Maggie & I took turns.

This past weekend, Friday, 6/21/13 we started out at Bailey's Ford (thanks to Fred who fixed our air conditioner on Wednesday night! :D ) but ended up here at another new campground to our family, Turtle Creek. Oh and why did we end up at a different campground the day after we started, the rain of course! In case some of you didn't know, rain around here in Iowa is just about as thick as air... one-day at a time without rain is about all you can count on :(

Despite the weather and ball games (girls finished their tournament and I had to work in the concession for 3-hours) the kids had an awesome time. We were up high on a hill and the kids had a blast riding their bikes down the hill and around the circle.  LeaAnn doing what she does best... help adults of course! ;)


Kids had a great time with the sprinklers and mud :D  Whatever it took to stay cool - it was HOT! (And I'm NOT complaining!!! ;)

Love, love, love!

This is what 12 kids + their stuff looks like ;)

'Big-baby-Kael' :) this kid never stops eating!

Chris really enjoyed that seat... all day & night! (Even fell asleep in it for an hour or so... just a slight time-out ;) but he paid the price, ate up by mosquitoes.

Not sure what kind of advice Lindsay is getting from Dustin here ;) but I'd love to know!

Levi & Dustin were being so cute! Wish I'd had a better angle...  another weekend in the books! (Can not believe it's almost July... )
