camping!

This past weekend we went down to Clifty Falls State Park for some camping!  Our friends Jim and Jess Allen and their two boys Cooper and Sam joined us (they only stayed the first night as Cooper got sick, but we sure did have a fun time with them).  We hiked, made s'mores, went swimming, rode bikes and just relaxed...it was so wonderful!  The boo's had fun helping put up the tent, sleeping in their "camping bags" and looking for wildlife...we saw a few racoons (one even took our marshmallows!), deer, wild turkey and lots of birds.  The weather was beautiful and there were no bugs!   
Here's the guys setting up the tent.
Conall took a break after awhile:)

 Declan and dad riding around, Declan is getting pretty good:)
 Making s'mores the first night with Cooper (he's asleep) and Sam!
 This is how Conall eats his marshmallows!
 Delcan loved roasting marshmallows!
 Conall was the last one to fall asleep (around 11 pm) and the first one to wake up...at 6 am!!
 Ready for our first hike in Clifty Falls!  They did great on the trails and Conall can now say "steep"...we must have told a hundred times that we had to be careful because it was steep!

 Down by the water:)
 The guys checking out the water bed and fallen trees.

Chillin' out with some with a snack:)

 Off for our second hike...Declan really liked hiking.
 Conall really liked it because he didn't have to walk much!
 All of us on our last morning in Clifty Falls!
