Camping!

Grandpa Craig and Grandma Char

have started an annual camping trip with the grand kids

and that happened this past weekend.

They camped at the Marion County Park

in Knoxville, so a nice 40 minutes from home

where Mom and Dad slept :)

Aubrey stayed two nights and Avery made it one!

Thanks to Sara for many of the pics!

Sara and K tented

(which also proved to be a fun hang-out spot, too)

Steve and I came back and forth for two suppers and one lunch

and left the girls there most of the time.

(taking Avery home one night)

roasting marshmallows 

sponge bombs made by Grandma proved to be entertaining

bubbles, too

Avery and Hannah playing "catch" - I mean "fetch"

Avery VERY EXCITED with her purple ice pop

It was pretty hot...everyone needed to cool off!

taking a walk to the covered bridge on the property

checking out the lilypads

s'mores!

 the 6 Kaisand grandchildren

(we were telling Avery "don't smile" - to get her to smile,

which in turn made Aubrey actually try not to smile!) - ha! 

sign of a good camping weekend!
