Last weekend we packed up on Friday and headed to Potato Creek State Park to camp for the weekend with Gramma Steph and Grampa Elden. Uncle Chris and his friend, Mike, happened to have planned a trip to Potato Creek for the same weekend, so we got sites next to each other. The prediction was rain for most of the weekend, but it ended up that it rained early Saturday and then was dry the rest of the day. We cooked over the campfire, went on bike rides, took trips to the playgrounds, napped, colored, played, visited, read, and enjoyed our time together. The campground was not busy and was nice and quiet (except for our boys), which was a nice change from our usual camping trips when the campgrounds are usually full.
Ready to head out on a bike ride.
Checking out the critters at the nature center. I think there were turtles in each of these two tanks. Other tanks held frogs and a snake.
The boys roasting their own hot dogs.
Drinking a beer and roasting a hot dog over a campfire...does life get better than this? Actually, Tate grabbed the roasting stick a little too close to the cooking end and burnt his hand. Daddy gave him a cold beer to hold to help sooth his hand.
In 15+ years, when my son is sitting by the fire drinking a beer...I have a feeling he will still look like this to his mom.
We celebrated birthdays while we were camping...Gramma Steph and Daddy on Friday and Uncle Chris on Saturday. Gramma brought cupcakes for Uncle Chris.
Saturday night we went to Mishawaka to watch Aunt Cori skate. Unfortunately, her team didn't do too well. We did get to visit with Cori and Edo for a short while after the bout. Aunt Cori had to tackle Cade to get a hug.

These days, Cade runs FROM Aunt Cori and runs TO Uncle Edo.
No pictures from Sunday. We got up and took our tent down right away. We had just gotten packed up when the storms rolled in. The rest of the morning included rain, with a short shower of hail. We sat under Grampa Elden’s canopy or in Gramma and Grampa’s camper. We did some visiting, coloring, reading, etc. There was a break in the rain at around noon, so we loaded up our bikes and took off for home. Despite the rain, it was a fun weekend!
