Our Camping Weekend- First Night and Morning

On friday I was sitting here and thought to my self I really want to go do something fun this weekend with the kids. Well the weather was going to be 74 and sunny all weekend long so why not go camping!? So at 2 in the afternoon I asked Jade if he was up to it and off we went to Maumee Bay to pick out a camp site. They one that we picked was so get. Right next to the bathrooms and had a playground that we could see and hear from or camp site. It was great. When we picked Macy up from school she was so excited to go!! Here are a few highlights from the weekend.

The new way to star gaze!!! With a phone a app. called google star maps. Macy and Jade had a really good time looking at all the different consultations.

First thing in the morning the were off to play and make new friends at the playground.

She can see you!

Macy scared of the silly story that Jade was telling. Macy could see her shadow and be scared.

Hanna was out! She must not have enjoyed Jade's story!

" See mommy I eat it all gone!"

They love the smores!

Addie was my Marshmallow helper.

Addie way so cute when I took this photo. She leaned over to her bear and said, "Smile Silly."

Addison had gone 24 hours with out any Dr. Pepper. Once she saw Jade's she was done for.

Sable was done sitting on the ground.

On Saturday we decided to run up the road to the pumpkin patch and pick out a few pumpkins.

I was getting Addie and the girls ready to go play and she said that she was all ready to go play dressed just like this!

I saw this post on a blog that I check out all of the time. I am going to do my best to help and I hope that anyone that reads this and can help, will help to comfort a family on what I would think to be one of the hardest days of being a parent.

Posted by Meryntha on "Greyson's Gift" website:

I am looking for your help. Hospitals all across the country are in need of small, very small, baby blankets. In cases of fetal demise, babies are so tiny, even the smallest nursery blanket is much too big to wrap around their tiny bodies. I know how parents feel when they are presented with their tiny baby, for the first and last time. Having to deal with a large blanket that doesn't fit, is a distraction. And, unnecessary.

If you can sew or crotchet/knit, would you please help me to supply blankets for these mothers?what they need:12" x 12" and 24" x 24" flannel receiving blankets, in small pink, baby blue, white, and yellow prints. Use your best judgement, we don't want the prints of the blankets to detract from very small babies.The blankets also need to be double layered.For those who have already jumped in to help and have blankets other than the specifics above, DON'T WORRY! We can still use your blankets.Again, HERE is Greyson's Website link.

So whether you sew, knit or crotchet, you can make something very special for a greiving family.

Please send your blankets to:
