4 Babies and Camping

We had the best weekend with our best buds camping our hearts away! Maybe we were a bit crazy to take on a last minute camping trip with four babies in tow but it was awesome. 

Now that we have a camp trailer, it makes camping a little easier with kids...except that pretty much everything doesn't work in our trailer (another story for another day).  We were indebted to Dad Griggs for letting us borrow his generator so we could sleep with heat. 

The babes loved watching dad hook up the truck to the trailer. They might have gotten a little anxious to get on their way but we finally made it. 
 Aren't these four babies the cutest? They all love each other so much. And thank goodness for Pack N' Plays. They are lifesavers for crawling babies. 
 Sis was trapped a lot but she still had a good time.
 These two are the best of buds!! They were constantly hugging each other. And of course there was a lot of throwing rocks and playing in the dirt along with the hugs.  
 We gave up cleaning the little guy. He had a great time anyway. 
 Daddy and Kamryn enjoying each other's company. 
 Our dear wonderful friends!!! 
 And this is a typical picture of our life. Nate laughing his head off as Kamryn spills his drink all over herself and of course I'm getting mad about it. 
 Among the good food, the fun chats, and the sleepless night (I almost got the saw out to cut down a tree that was scraping the side of our trailer), we were able to come across some horses on our 10 meter walk and the guys were so nice and let the kids pet them and get on top of them. Mel and Emmett were the only ones to venture on a horse. Emmett may have called it a cow and said, "moo", We will have to work on that. 
 What a fun camp-out! Can't wait to do it again Mel and Kel and little buddies!!

Best trip ever!! Thanks to the company! I adore your sweet family! Even thinking about the boys together makes me grin- E man is the best little buddy. I'm excited for when Ty and Kay Kay catch up! Thank you for playing with us!!

Oh my gosh that looks SO fun!!! I'm laughing about Kay Kay in the play pen so she can't escape, and the dirty little faces. I love it! Way to go Mel & Emmett up on the horse, Kayla you should have been braver!

You seriously have the cutest family!

Oh that looks like so much fun! And it sounds like the trailer situation is a fun story, one I can't wait to hear. Looking forward to DC!
