Camping!!

We went camping at Pokagon state park the last week in July. It was Olivia's first camping trip and she did really well! Better than she does at home!
Here is our camping site. We went with to other couples from church and their kids. We had two big campsites with bathrooms and showers in the little brown building that is in the background.

Here is our tent with Olivia on the "door step" We will have to get a bigger tent next time we go camping. Our air bed and suitcase fits in this one and thats about it!

She went right for the dirt, like normal, and ate it.

This was our hiking trip we went on with the others couples. She loves looking at the trees as they move so she had a good time on our hike. About ten minutes into the hike we stopped at a play ground so the kids could play. Well while we were sitting there Olivia started screaming and we had forgot her pacifier! So Kevin actually ran back to get it! He was really tired after that but Olivia was happy.

I thought that this ended up being a good picture with the trees in the background. This was after her nap she took on Daddy during our hike.

Here is the inside of our tent. She liked playing on the bed. If she got fussy or irritated, I just went to the tent with her and she was fine.

Making breakfast and coffee with Dad the morning we left.

This is a tent that my mom gave me which was really nice because it was big enough for Olivia to crawl around in. She liked this much better than the playpen.

Here we are at the beach. It a really nice beach for a state park.

It was about a five minute walk to the beach from our campsite. When we left the campsite Olivia was sleepy but we could not get her to go to sleep. We were just about to the beach when I looked down at Olivia and she had her head laying down on the front of the stroller, sleeping! She took a good nap while at the beach.

She liked the sand! Apparently its good, just like dirt. She was eating handfuls of it. I had to stand up so she could not get the sand.

Heres Olivia and a new friend, Lydia. She is a month younger than Olivia. They liked looking at each other, and Olivia liked Lydia's clothes, she would not let go of her!

We're home! Olivia in her new hat trying to get the cooler.
