Livin' in the Outdoors

On Friday we set out for Governor Dodge State Park  for a weekend of camping with Grammy, Grampy, Chris, Teri, and Teri's 4.5 year old niece Abby.  It was Felicity and Lydia's first time swimming in a lake (and they enjoyed it despite the wind making it a bit chilly at times), first time seeing the moon and Jupiter (and it's four moons) through a big telescope (they had an astronomy program on Saturday night), and first time sleeping in the same bed.  It took them a bit to get to sleep but eventually they both conked out and all was well...until 1:30a when Lydia woke up and screamed like a banshee.  Isaiah ended up taking her home (a 40 minute drive) at 2:00a because she wouldn't calm down...we think now it might have been too dark for her and she wasn't fully awake.  

Overall though, it was a great trip!  The kids hunted for lightening bugs and drew chalk outlines of each other on the road and blew lots of bubbles with Uncle Chris.  Here are a few favorite pictures from our trip.
