The Great Outdoors

 Matt's friend, Doug, and his family were camping for the weekend by Palisades (I think) and he invited us to come for the day so our kids could play with his kid and his cousins.  So we decided to go.  We had a great time- especially Matt and the girls!  The campsite had a big lodge and some cabins around it.  It was really hot so I mostly stayed in the lodge.  But we all enjoyed a day in the great outdoors!

 They all loved the 4-wheeler. 

Rylee couldn't get enough!

 Rylee also loved playing this- 

I played with her mostly and she thought it was great!

 Ready for a ride!

 Now Ashlyn's turn!

 Rylee made friends with the oldest boy (of course!).  

He was very nice to let her follow him around and play with her.

 Her friend had a bow and arrow, which Rylee loves to play with.  

She's our little Merida (from the movie Brave)!

 Lucas was nice enough to smile for the picture.  

They're building a fort.

 The girls only had boys to play with- 

which is different for them, but which they really enjoyed!

Then they got to take this for a ride.

What a fun "camping" adventure!

 A few hours at the campsite without having to stay the night- definitely the way to go!  

We also got square ice cream cones on the way home!

(I forgot my camera at home,
so these pictures were taken with my ipad from school-
they turned out pretty good!)
