Happy 4th of July 2010!

We had a great 4th of July! It was our 4th weekend in a row pulling our camper out!

Back in April, I reserved 2 camping spots for us and our good friends the Nelson's! Friday afternoon we headed to Okoboji and camped for 4 days and 3 nights at Marble Beach! We had a lot of fun swimming, kayaking, biking, grilling, shopping, watching fireworks 2 times, sitting by the bonfire, and visiting!

We had some great visitors over the weekend...Auntie and Kevin stayed with us for 2 nights, Grandpa Terry came for a day, Grandma Sue and Pauly came to swim with us and stayed for the evening, Grandpa Darwin and Grandma Mary came for an afternoon and so did Uncle Eric, Jackie, and Mersaydes. Joe and Pam came for supper one night and then stayed with the Nelson's.

Check out the weekend pictures below...

The girls are in the back of the pick-up headed to the beach. It was a hot day!
Everyone was excited to kayak! Even I got in one 2 times and went quite a ways. Auntie and Kevin have 2 kayaks that they brought along.


The girls had a great spot to ride their bikes...which they did probably 1/2 the time we were there.


Here we are lounging. We had nice spots at the camp ground. We were not far from the bathrooms and showers. One of the highlights of the weekend was when Lauren came out of her camper and told me "Holly, my aunt Pam just got engaged in the camper!" Jeremy's sister Pam got engaged to
Joe V. right at the camper on July 3! They have dated for 10 1/2 years. Congrats to them!

Here the girls all festive in their fireworks shirts!

Leah and Lane loved to play in the jeep and escalade.

Time to feed the babies!

Up to no good...as usual!
The best part about camping is the memories! Lots of great memories were made this weekend! Thanks to the Nelson's for camping with us and for all the great company!
