Outside of Lake Beauty Bible Camp our absolute favorite place to camp is Lake Carlos State Park in Alexandria! It's just awesome and we were blessed with a great weekend up there with some of our favorite camping buddies the Grochow family! Weather was a bit uncooperative in the wind department but overall we had another amazing weekend! Great food (thank you Erick & Carrie!), great conversations, some of the best fishing the guys have had up there, swimming, giggles, & those camp fires, ahhhh!!!! Just love it! Some pics to share!
Captain Olivia! Reporting no accidents during her watch!
Carrie, Erick, & Liv oh how we love you so!
A Reese shot, so very rare to capture these creatures all in one photo, in the running for the endangered list :)!
Taking the boat to the landing, we all rode in it and the other campers thought we should have been throwing candy, must have looked like a parade float!
The story: well Conner as you know is quickly falling into a love for bugs like his cousin Seth, so when he brought us some tent worms & called them caterpillars we had to set him straight. No, these aren't to be cherished as the park showed lots of damage to the trees from them chomping on the leaves. Needless to say he went from caterpillar saver to conservationist or tree lover. The kids took their fishing nets and filled them with the worms only to drown them at the boat landing docks. Not dramatic enough? Well then they collected them in bottles, filled the bottles with water, then rolled & played key away with them. Now I feel sorry for them, almost!
Partners in crime!
Beach time!
Heads Up
Heads down
This is what relaxation looks like
Don't be fooled, that water was COLD!!!!
Getting some sun, like he needs it!
She's a that point when entering the water for the first time, hate it too peanut!
Go Liv!
Splashin', been waiting a long time to do that!
These two were fierce in the water - cold? What cold? Remember not caring when we were kids?
Walking tacos, Conner's favorite!
The chefs in action
This is what a time out looks like when your camping.... yep it happens!
Great form girls!
How they spent 90% of their time!
Thankfully they only spent 1-2% of their time doing this - playing video games!Again, thanks for another incredible weekend of fun!!!!!
