Port Crescent Camping 2012

What a great long weekend.  And considering the boys were 15 months old, they did very well too!  The family on the site next to us actually gave us a "Citizenship award" (verbally) saying they were impressed at how well-behaved the boys were.  I took well over 100 pictures during the weekend, but I will try my best to pick a handful of fun pictures (but be prepared that this post will most likely be picture heavy).
The boys chillin' as Troy sets up camp.
Just like at home, Ellis thinks it is fun to bounce on the air mattress.
"Hey Mom. What's this for?"
Once the Reaves Family showed up, Morgan came and enjoyed climbing the hill that she named "Horse Mountain"
Friday night we headed to the beach.  Ellis thoroughly
enjoyed the fact that he had a HUGE sandbox to play in!

The boys LOVED the water too.  They did really well in the water and even tried dipping their head in.  They thought it was awesome to be able to be sitting in the water AND play in the sand at the same time.  
The boys!  =) 
A majority of Saturday afternoon was spent back at the beach.  The boys loved going
out into the lake with Troy.  Here he is with Ellis, pointing at me.
Our nap schedule was definitely out of whack on vacation.  Here is Logan snuggling up, getting cozy on Nicole.
Having WAY too much fun - Troy and Ellis.
A bit hard to see - but a picture of the boys sleeping, from outside the tent.  Naps were
about 3 hours later than usual, but they were exhausted and passed right out after all the fun at the beach!
The boys loved drinking out of our bottles, like big boys.  They enjoyed Troy's lemonade.
A little game of tag with Morgan.  Ellis liked running around with me too!
Morgan's #1 buddy is Parker, but she had fun with Logan,
walking him all around her campsite.  He obviously liked it too!
Sunday, after our own breakfast, Nicole came and told us that they had extra pancakes.  We headed over to see if the boys wanted any and they each had 1.5 pancakes!  Their hunger must have caught up with them!
A little bit of fun at the park while Mark and Troy went to get more ice and milk.
Ready, set...

...go!

Logan did a bit of a face-plant into the dirt, followed by a little
bit of face rubbing, and this is the cute face we were left with.  
Sunday while we were getting ready to go to the beach, Troy put the boys in the hammock, and of course they just so happened to fall asleep.  We didn't exactly expect that to happen, but a little catnap doesn't hurt anyone.  
Our footprints from oldest to youngest - from left to right - Troy, Kristin, Logan, Ellis

Our one and only photo of all 4 of us - our last night there at the campfire.
We had a blast but definitely thought of things that will help us in future camping trips.  Lots of fun all around!  Thanks for the invite, Mark and Nicole.  We look forward to next years trip!

Love the update. And especially the picture of the boys in the hammock.
