Before I get into the weekend fun... I had to share the two cute photos after bath last week... just a glimpse into a night of my life :)

Another wonderful year at the Cook Family Campout! Oh I was really excited for our camping trip this year. I was ready to be relaxing and have the kids outside all weekend. To top it off, the weather was calling for highs in the 80s and low dew points. Could not have been more perfect!
We got there Friday after work. It did take us a bit longer to get ready, but with the fair in town last week, we just didn't have nearly as much time to get ready the night before like we have in the past. We unpacked and played some games that night. The kids fell right asleep in the tent and they slept great all night! On Saturday, we went to see the house that my parents bought in town. They will be moving in the next few months and we were able to get a glimpse at what they purchased. This is also the reason why this year was our last year at my parents house camping. We will be moving our campsite elsewhere in the future. Who knows, maybe next year it will be in OUR back yard! That is a GREAT thought!
Saturday night we had some great corn on the cob and a nice campfire. We played Apples to Apples for a bit, until it got too dark to see the cards. I went to bed early, I was wiped out! On Sunday, we woke to rain, so we moved camp inside the "lodge" aka the house. After it stopped raining for a bit, we went and packed up camp. We wanted to get home since the kids were tired and needing some good home naps. With the kids in bed, Jake and I were able to get everything in the house and unpacked by noon!
I seriously had a very productive day today. After unpacking, getting laundry done, thank you cards written, bills filed, and organizing the entire shed... and catching up on the blog... I'm feeling that the weekend was not wasted! Thanks to some caffeine and lots of resting so I had lots of motivation, I feel that I've gotten done a lot that I've been trying to get done for some time.
Enjoy the photos of the weekend camping! Unfortunately, my SD card was full, so I was pretty limited on the number of shots I took, and most of them included naked babies in the pool, so inappropriate for the blog, but they will be great for that senior slideshow!
