Camping

 Over the July 4th weekend, we went camping at Falls Lake, a campground about 20 minutes from our house. Since this was the first time we have ever been camping as a family, we decided we needed to stay close to home in case things didn't go well. We borrowed Marianne and Eric's camping gear and tried things out! They came and had dinner with us the first night and took pictures!

We had fun but next time we definitely will go somewhere cooler or wait until October!

 Our kids love to make funny faces!

 Quinn came as well for the first night but chewed through her leash the morning of our second day. After keeping a hold of what was left of her leash for the early afternoon (and dealing with the heat and humidity), we decided to head home for an AC break. We enjoyed our AC for a few hours, removed a few ticks, and headed back for the evening and night.

 Lily had our monkey backpack (with leash) on for the first while so we could make sure we kept track of her.

The kids loved camping and didn't want to go home! However we were definitely done with the heat and humidity!
