Camping

So over the 4th of July weekend we headed camping for the first time with the girls. Well..tent camping. We have stayed in the RV with my parents, but that is a lot different.

We headed to Jackson Lake on the 4th after the parade in our neighborhood. We wanted to go to a lake so we could boat and enjoy swimming in the water. The girls love swimming! Also, Jackson Lake is not that far to travel, about an hour and a half. It was a great place and a great lake. It was warm and never seemed too busy on the water.

Of course we enjoyed S'mores!
Essence and Jamie joined us. She had a lot of fun on the boat and tubing for the first time.
Enjoying the water on some VERY hot days!
Josh got up on water skis after many years of not doing it. He did great.
Jeremy, Laurie and Hope also joined us.
Josh's friend Chad, Veronica, and his kids join us as well.
Oh look!!!!  I WAS there! That is the problem with being the one taking photos, I am not in any.
My sweetie and me!

The boat is where the girls napped on this trip. As soon as they got on the boat it seemed that they fell asleep!
We such a great time with friends and family! Thanks Jamie, Essence, Jeremy, Laurie, Hope, Chad, Veronica, Josiah, and Isaac for such a great time. The girls had a blast and we will (hopefully) have one more camping trip before the summer is over.

Park and Zoo Fun

Two of our favorite places...the park and the zoo and they don't cost a lot of money. We definitely still get our money's worth from the zoo membership.
The pictures are kind of scrambled because when I upload from my phone they aren't in order. But putting pictures from my phone to the blog is much easier than my computer I have found.
