camping!

so we went to devil's lake campground for the weekend with the boys. our friends aliza and joel met us the 2nd night and drove all the way from chicago to see us with their little guy jakob. it was an adventure for sure! we had a lot of fun, but camping with 2 little boys is a LOT of work! (which we expected:) we hope to make it a yearly tradition. we love this place!
watching daddy set up our tent!

josiah's bed for 2 nights. just as happy as always! he was very easy-going the whole time, as usual. 

very interested in watching daddy make the fire

trying to help.. (making mommy a bit nervous)

chevelle loves to camp because she gets to sleep in bed with daddy under the covers:)

finding wood for the fire

eating breakfast.. daddy made eggs, bacon, and of course, coffee!

relaxing.. javan thought it was a swing and wanted us to keep "pushing" him:)

enjoying a perfect day


javan loved the leaves, sticks, rocks, etc..:)


chopping wood

helping daddy cut wood

relaxing by the fire
