Cran Hill

In July, we headed to Cran Hill, camping with a group from our church.

The kiddos had never been camping and scott and I hadn’t been in forever, so it was definitely gonna be an adventure!

This was actually our stuff as we were unpacking after our trip, but it gives you an idea of the madness!  We were piled in pretty good in the van!!

The kids all loved the tent! it worked out really good because there are three rooms – we took the middle and each of the kids had their own.  we brought three fans too, so we could each cool down – it was in the upper 80s/90s the whole weekend! :)

There was a great little playground right across the way from us and the lake was just a quick walk too!  can you tell syd liked to swing?  she would just lean back and scream..it was cute! IMAG1023

we kept pretty busy while we were there – jen, paul, kenz, d, owen and I went tubing on saturday morning – owen was not a fan and cried basically the entire way – but we tried to make the most of it! 

the bigger kids did some archery, and we ate plenty of ice cream from the barn store!  we also all did tie dye!  DSCF6937

another thing owen tried out (which we were pretty surprised he went through with) was the giant slip n slide…he waited in line and went right down and couldn’t wait to get back in line and try it again!DSCF6965

we stayed super busy all weekend and wish we would have been able to stay for more than just the weekend!  even though we were with a large group from church, we didn’t really get to hang out with everyone – the kiddos kept us very busy but we still had an awesome time and kole camping trip #1 was a success.

this is on the way home, I’ll say the kiddos were pretty tired out!!! DSCF7009 DSCF7010
