Easter Weekend Camping

(Warning: Lots of pictures ahead!)
We went on our first camping trip of the year on Easter weekend. We went to Roaring River. We met Jason's parents as well as Aunt Cathy, Uncle Guy and their children and grandchildren, and Uncle Roger. Uncle Elliot joined us for one afternoon and Uncle Jeff spent the last day with us as well. We had wonderful weather all weekend- except for the rain on Friday as we were trying to get packed up. It had slowed down to a mist/drizzle after we got there. The only downer was that Gracie was sick the whole weekend. (When I took her to the doctor the following Monday we found out it was strep throat.)
Jason and the boys enjoyed lots of fishing and Gracie and I sat around in the camper most of the weekend. It was a relaxing change of pace though, which is always nice.
Day 1 Catch


Rhett got the catch of the day!!!
Daddy on his new bike and Gracie in her new bike wagon.
I love this thing. It also doubles as a jogging stroller, which is so handy!
Dyeing Easter eggs with Tyrus and Anya

Gracie and I were in the camper while the egg coloring was going on.


After the big kids were done, we brought over the dye cups and she got to dye a dozen all by herself.

I snuck this one in of my hubby in his bunny ears. :)

What a great weekend! Hope we get to go out in the camper many more times this year.
