Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fantastic holiday weekend camping with my family in Spring Grove, IL (my hometown).
The weather was a little interesting with a freezing cold night, a cool day, a rainy day and a beastly hot day!
But, we still had tons of fun of course.  We got lots of fishing in, a little walking, biking, campfiring,
cooking, blowing bubbles, sparklers, coloring and playing games!


Grandpa helping Madi fish

Grandma making sure the little kids don't fall in :)

Taylor enjoying a marshmellow

Grandpa brought some fun sparklers


Taylor loves fishing.. imagine that I think her Dad likes it too a little bit

Hailey thinks it's pretty cool to reel in every 5 seconds :)

Ben caught almost all of the fish, I love this picture

Aiden enjoyed the shade most of the time and Grandma was a big help to Mommy
so I could actually get a little bit of sun for a change!

My two guys hanging out by the campfire

The girls loved the bike ride

we rode to this park

Daddy & Grandpa taking Taylor fishing in the canoe

while we stayed on the dock

It was rainy Sunday but the kids still had lots of fun and went through lots of clothes!

The bubbles were a big hit, these two are pretty good buddies

Also love this picture of course.. fishing by sunset!

Tim & Mel, Megan, Madi & Tyler

Aiden wasn't sure if he liked fishing by sunset

Cooper was happy to be along as well

Monday was hot but so nice and breezy on the dock

We all really enjoyed our Dairy Queen before we left to go home!

This little face was too cute not to capture on the ride home :)

Thanks for another fun holiday weekend!
