Campout!

I was feeling a little bummed that we had planned to camp a lot this summer and hadn't gone once!  Rori's still struggling with some potty training issues and Savannah loves her bed, so I wanted to do a trial run and see how the girls would do camping in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard before we ventured into the mountains.

They were good helpers getting the fire started and the tent put up :)

It's fun to see Rori becoming more independent and wanting to do things on her own.

I'm glad she got to wear her festive camping shirt too!  Love the "cheese" grins :)

Ryan and his friend, Tammy, like to give the girls little gifts.  Rori got a 50 piece princess puzzle that Uncle Ryan helped her put together.

Me and my little Vannah Belle.  Love this girl!

Ryan and Tammy found some really cool fire rocks that made the fire change color.  The pictures don't do it justice.  It really was cool!

Our girls were both pretty tired from staying up late.  Aurora slept really well but Savannah had a pretty rough night.  She loves her bed so much and ended up with a pretty stuffy nose over night.  We had some fun hanging out in the tent in the morning together though :)

Flashlights are a must on a camp out.  For some reason we always forget to bring them.  Good thing Grandpa and Grandma are always stocked up :)

Daddy snuggle time in the morning is the best!

Vannah likes to expose her belly sometimes--Dar thinks it's because she watches what Jillian Michaels wears in her 30 Day Shred work out video I exercise to. Haha!

I think it's because she thinks she's pretty cool now that she knows where her belly button is!

The girls really did pretty well, but I think we'll wait until next year before we do any more camping with them. Thanks Mom and Dad K for the tent!  And thanks Mom and Dad D for letting us crash in your yard! :)
