Labor Day Camping

It's official... Summer is over. We did end the summer with a great camping trip to Maple Grove. We camped at the KOA right off Co. Rd. 101 and you would have never guessed we were still in the cities. The campground is beautifully wooded and peaceful. We arrived Friday evening to the festivities in full swing. We unloaded and settled in for the long weekend. A few notes about the weekend.... There were 9 children under the age of 6, 12 adults, and one dog.

This was picture 6 of 6. It was really hard to get all the kids to look and smile at the same time. Kaitlyn loved playing with all the kids that she didn't nap on Saturday. We tried to put her down, but 20 minutes later I found that she climbed out of the pack n play and was using half the wipes to clean the camper in her diaper. The good news is that she wasn't the only one who didn't nap and no one really broke down until 7pm.

We decided to bring our picnic table for the kids to use. It came in handy with all the little ones. I actually found this table at a garage sale for only $2.00. I love garage sales.

Here is Cousin Hailey and Kaitlyn enjoying some pudding together in the wagon.

The weather was perfect. Kaitlyn loves to be outside playing in the dirt, picking acorns, playing at the park, and being with her cousins. When we were packing up to leave... she kept saying "Bye, Bye Camper". The nice part of camping so close to home is that we were home by 1 and unpacked by 2.
