Camping at Last!

Last week I asked Isabel if she would rather be in the South Weber day parade or go camping. She looked at me as if I was crazy and said, "camping!" Isabel loves to camp and so does Ben. I wasn't sure if he remembered camping, but he does :) We ended up just going to Mantua because we needed for be back Sunday morning for mom and dad's non-farewell.

Starting at about 5pm Isabel started asking for a campfire. We went on a 4 wheeler ride and started the campfire when we got back around 7-8pm. Here is Brady starting the fire.

Ben decided to blow on the fire like daddy did :) Check out his cheeks!

Isabel had to join the fun too!

Ben was in the play pen all last year, but this year he was big enough to sleep in a tent like Isabel! He only woke up once and decided that he didn't like sleeping in the tent so we made a bed up for him. Isabel is too big for hers, but she still wants to sleep in it :) Just like real camping!

This is the first year that I wasn't pregnant or had a little baby that needed a nap, so we were able to ride the 4 wheeler a lot. The kids loved it. We had to make sure that the key was out of it becuase Ben knows how to start and accelerate :)

Me and the kids would ride on the 4 wheeler and Brady would ride on the side on his dirtbike. It was fun. Isabel loves her daddy. She and Ben would both keep looking around wile we were riding to make sure we could see daddy riding beside us.

Here is Brady helping the kids get ready for yet another ride. (I sat in the middle of the 2 kids) And yes, we all wear helmets! The rides were fun. Ben got to where he could tell me when there would be a bump coming, and he would say weeeee!

Camping is a ton of fun. It was very nice to get away even if it was just for a few days!
