Camping Weekend

Last Weekend Darren, Niko and I met some friends for a little camping trip.
The first night started with tin foil dinners and banana boats, yum and yum!
Then we played a little Gestures, the sign game and the name game. The boys were the champions and proud of it.
The whole crew
The next day we headed to the lake for fun in the sun with swimming, ultimate frisbee and food.
Of course there are a lot of pictures of Niko because he is my baby. He had two friends there to play with and they had a ball!Niko and Bazil having a staring contestNiko protecting his watermelon from Bazil and Chewy. He didn't eat it, he just didn't want anyone else to have itNo pets were allowed at the lake/park, so we had to tie them upIt didn't last long and we let them play and swim with us (a picture of Niko swimming, soon to come) Becky was the dog sitter while the rest of us played ultimate frisbeeHe would dry off after swimming and then I just took him into the lake again, well dragged him through the beach and sand is really what happened. He wasn't a huge fan of the cold water and I can't blame him, but I was desperate to see his swimming ability, he did an excelent job!He was pooped by the end of the day and snuggled up to me for warmth
We had great weather exept for the second night when it poured on us at dinner time. We went under the tarp and played games until it passed so we could make s'mores. Suprisinly the fire held out through all the rain. Camping was so much fun! Nothing beats food, friends, and getting dirty.

Looks fun. We are looking for something to do Saturday. How far away did you go and were shorter hikes options? I just watched part of an unedited "Bring it On" and this time I was able to pick out your sister. Too funny...

Sounds so fun. I am jealous of your camping. We have yet to get out and do it. Little Niko is so cute in his outfit too!

I can't wait to go camping! All of you pictures got me so excited. Don't boys always like to rub it in when they win the games? Sure looks like Niko loved camping too!
