Allergic to camping?

We got back from Texas on a Tuesday night...unpacked, cleaned and packed up again on Friday to go camping! We went last year around the same time with a big group and this year the group grew! It's so fun to go with all our friends. This year we had a total of 12 families!

Some of the kiddos all geared up to hike to the stream

Girly Girls

What a happy camper!

I know I posted multiple shots of this one picture but I couldn't pick just one!

Tyler could have thrown rocks here all day!

Yummy smores

After dinner the girls all got their hair braided. Paige loves playing with these girls!

So, now on to the title of this post ;) We had a great time until it was time for bed. BRRR!!! It was 36 degrees. Yup, 4 degrees away from from freezing! I did not expect it to be this cold and did not pack appropriately. So, we got the kids to bed fine and we went to bed around midnight. FREEZING. Oh, and we brought an air mattress that unknown to us, had a hole in it so we were sleeping on the ground. Not comfy. Jeromy and I were waking up about every 30 minutes and we both woke up at 3:30am to Paige whining and calling my name. Then she started puking!!! Yes, all over herself, her sleeping bag, etc. POOR THING! So, we got her as cleaned up as we could and she snuggled with me while Jerm packed us up. We were back home by 6am and everyone slept in until 9am. I was such a pain to pack up and leave but SO NICE to get in our own bed and be warm. This was my 3rd camping trip every and Jeromy is lucky that my other experiences have been good!! Anyway, Paige was totally fine and I'm not sure what made her sick. So, I've come to the conclusion that she's allergic to camping!!

Sea World

The other week we met Troy and Drew at Sea World. For some reason I only took one picture!! The kids had so much fun playing together ;)

Summertime Fun!

Jeromy loves driving the Jeep in the Summer with the top off. He took it off on Saturday and took Tyler for a spin ;)

Sunday morning we had Paige's dance pictures! Oh man, memories!! I took dance for 13 years and did every recital, competition, Mayfest, Octoberfest, talent shows, etc that was offered! So, putting Paige in her first costume for her first recital was SO much fun for me! Jeromy took some pictures on his phone of us putting on her makeup and curling her hair that I'll add later. I'M SO HAPPY SHE LIKES TO DANCE!! These are her costumes minus a little flower hairpiece.
That afternoon we went to the PAC pool with Addison, Avery and Owen. What fun! Paige and I went while Jerm stayed home with Tyler. We had so much fun and it is so rare that we do anything just the two of us. Paige did great swimming too so that made me happy. Forgot to take pictures though!

That night we went to the park for a Summer Concert. These are my favorite events! Beautiful weather, live music, picnic dinner and kids running around playing and dancing...perfect night!

Girls chasing the boys...isn't it supposed to be the other way around?!

Phew, I need a break!
