Memorial Day Camping

We've gone camping for the last 4 years in a row over Memorial Day. The last 3 have been at Tolt McDonald Park in Carnation WA. This year we went with a family in our new ward. Crystal, Gordon and their 4 year old daughter Kylee.

We had a great time despite the rain every day. Our little camper trailer kept us nice and dry and cozy...at night anyway...

We did have a break for about 4 hours on Sunday when the rain stopped. we took advantage of this time and rode our bikes over to the big toy and had some fun playing. The boys did tricks, they rolled down the wet hill, Decker collected rocks and sticks, and we took pictures.

Decker loving his Capri Sun....wish there was more sun around here...
We smoked a turkey on Saturday and it didn't disappoint. It was yummy and there was leftovers for turkey sandwiches the next day.

One of the hardest things was keeping the kids warm and dry. We had 3 pairs of shoes for Decker that we kept alternating through and he went through about 20 pairs of socks, and 10 pairs of pants! Those puddles are irresistable! He loved being out and running around. We finally broke down and ran into town to get him some Rubber Boots...Spiderman boots that glow in the dark! They were a little big and so it was hard to keep them on. But now they're his favorite shoes to put on in the morning, rain or shine.

Muddy!

His new boots...

Time for a cookie snack...

The best activity on this trip was the tandem toddler bike. (We found it at a garage sale the weekend before for $10.00!). Kylee was a trooper and pedaled Decker around the whole weekend,...except when he would get off and push her. (Decker can't quite reach the pedals yet) She had control of the pedalling, but Decker had control of a little brake handle in the back. Whenever he'd pull it, she would say, "Please don't do that!" in a very nice way. It was very amusing to us all. :)Happy, Happy kids!

That's what it's all about! What a great weekend!

When Decker says Bicycle, he addes about 6 sylabels to the word. "cycycycycle" Here's a video of him saying it. ;)
