Ty's Epic Camping Trip

Ty has had many camping trips this summer but I think this one will remain as the most epic of all in his mind. Nana and Papa joined us for most of the trip which involved biking, throwing rocks in the water and tubing. We started out the weekend going to Quinton's house for dinner. 

 Nana and Papa took Ty to the park while we packed the motor home:

 And then we headed half an hour down the road to lovely Cultus Lake.  This local camping really is growing on me, especially when Big Bessie has a 115L tank and she eats that gas like it's going out of style.  I think maybe the gas is converted to fat, hence the name Big Bessie.

Kayaking on the lake

Swimming:

Zeke spent a lot of this camping trip in his swing.  Apparently he loves to sleep in his swing as well as outside.  Swing + Outside sleeping = 5 hour nap for Zeke!   He also enjoyed napping in the back of the van with Nana and Papa.  Nana enjoyed napping on the picnic table bench while Marc and I went kayaking. Crazy lady! ;)

Our friends Ang and Chad were camping at the same time just down the road.  Ang and the girls joined us for breakfast.
We bought some weights for the table cloths that were little apples.  Ty loved pretending them to eat them over and over again.

I absolutely love this next photo.  He looks so old and contemplative!

Staying with camping tradition, Nana gave Ty a haircut while he ate a popsicle. 

Ty has basically mastered the art of kick biking.  He is very good at coasting now and loves to put his feet up. Many trips around the campground loop definitely helped!

 Zeke chilling in his bumbo on the day they were recalled.  Recall . . . what recall?!!!

 

Maddi sure loves Zeke!!

 All the boys in their Dutchwear. . .

 Later on that afternoon Ty decided to lock himself in the motorhome.  Marc was ready to break the screen here to get get him but thankfully he talked him through opening the deadbolt himself.  Note to self . . don't leave 2 year old alone in the trailer with the keys inside.

 Zeke loved this camping trip much more than his first.  His fussiness is basically gone and he was happy as a clam. (Why in the world is that a saying?!)

Each day we had some visitors and enjoyed sitting around the campfire with them. 

And lastly Ty went tubing with Marc and I to top off his camping.  He was so happy, looking around and screaming with glee.  He couldn't even talk.

Happy end of summer to you all!
