Our annual camping trip with Mike and Jenn happened June 15-18. This year we ended up at Port Burwell, because of it closeness to home. Emily had a graduation celebration on the Saturday afternoon, so camping at Port Burwell allowed their family to go back and forth with ease.
Our kids had a P.D day on the Friday, so we were able to head out right after lunch. We did the beach Friday after we were set up and Saturday too. Both days were fabulous beach days and the water was lovely. I know because I went in both days:) (maybe even more than once . . . though I must admit it was a while ago and I don't remember exactly;))

Kevin, Kade, Kylie, and Jordan with the sand creation the person in front of us made. It was pretty magnificent! (we thought he was just making a spot to sit the whole time, and then when he left, the kids noticed the alligator part!)

Fishing. What can I say. The kids (Kade especially) REALLY wanted to go fishing. A LOT!! I think Kade asked over 30 times on Friday night and maybe another 15 on Saturday morning before they left. They went off the pier - and caught nothing - just like we predicted . . . but at least they got to go fishing! (we told them over and over that Port Burwell wasn't a real fishing place . . . but they had other ideas)
Bathtime for Karter!
Kids doing the dishes:) (as kids we never minded doing the dishes when we were at camp, so I thought maybe my kids would feel the same way . . . they assured me that they didn't . . .but they did the dishes anyway:))
Jenn made a lovely cake and brought it back from Emily's grad picnic.
I guess it was good!!

Campfires are a highlight for us adults too. After the kids are in bed, its when we get to relax and talk and enjoy eachothers conversation and company!
Other fun things that happened - biking, putting chains back on bikes over and over again (oh ya . . that wasn't the fun part . . .since then we have gotten new bikes), playing at the park, taking walks, suppers together, hiding out in the trailer during the Sunday evening downpour (another we could have done without, but are getting rather used to - it being our family and Port Burwell after all), coffee and snacks, and just relaxing a bit. Another great weekend in June.
Fun times! - thanks for putting up with us and our crazy schedule for another year!
