Labor Day Weekend Camping

Let me just say that WE LOVE FALL CAMPING! Labor Day weekend is the official kick-off to the Fall camping season, and it was a fabulous weekend!
Janelle brought manicure supplies and painted Grace's nails. She chose yellow for one hand and pink for the other.
She convinced Daniel to take her for a ride on the scooter several times throughout the weekend.
The girls love playing Skip-bo.
There is never a shortage of junk food at camp. Gabriel enjoyed some Twizzlers.
Ninny and Pap supplied all of the kids with root beers. Yes, even one of the big kids, Daniel, enjoyed one.
The boys shared Pap's cell phone to play video games.
Saturday is was HOT! To get some relief from the heat, we headed to the pool.
Grace enjoyed the sprinklers.
Daniel hung out with the bathing beauties, Grace, Nora, and Darbi.
Gabriel had a ball playing guns with the water sprinklers. It seemed every boy in the pool was in on this game.
Back at camp, Gabriel had found a stick that made a perfect walking stick. He protected this stick most of the weekend. I truly thought that we'd end up bringing it home, but we didn't thankfully.
Grace relaxed Sunday morning by the fire.
Before lunch we took a little walk around the campgrounds to see the horse camping area.
Sunday night was my favorite activity of all --- S'MORES around the campfire!
Grace doesn't care for s'mores, but she enjoys a toasted marshmallow.
Gabriel takes after his mama and enjoys a good s'more.
He toasted some of his own marshmallows, but most of them ended up being flaming marshmallow balls.
Hershey was one of four camp mascots. Poor dirty little dog!
Sunday night before bed time, the kids made bug jars. It was a fun craft for the kids to do, and then they could collect bugs Monday morning as we packed to leave.
Memorial Weekend Pap took the kids "deep down in the jungle," and it must have been fun. These kiddos would not leave him alone about going "deep down in the jungle." Finally Sunday night, they made their trek "deep down in the jungle." I think he's started something that he won't be able to get out of. Ha!
