CAMPING 2015 - Pickeral Park, Napanee

We picked the kids up early from Camp Shalom and headed to Pickerel Park straight from there. By the time we got there late Friday night, we set up quickly and the kids went to bed. The next morning while we were waiting for the rest of the Timmerman gang to arrive the park had brought in a fire truck for the kids. I think our kids were the only ones for the first hour. Zach trying out the jaws of life.

Brady checking out all the cool stuff!

The captain getting ready to teach Kadan a thing or two.

Kadan pulling the sirens!

Listening intently about how much work it is to become a fire fighter.

And the rest of the gang arrives....and within minutes we were all swimming.

Ryan helping Opa out letting the kids jump from his shoulders.

CANNONBALL!

Throwing Zach! And he kept coming back for more....???

Now Kadan is helping Opa letting kids jump off his shoulders! Oh dear!

Why must everything be so rough?

New fishing rod for his birthday. Thanks Opa and Oma!

Let's see if dad can put this thing together.

Cheers to camping!

What do you think Opa? Should I really come in?

Snuggles with Oma.

BFF's the whole week.

Opa still going strong with shoulder rides and throws.

Love that face!

OMA!? Caught in the act! Laughed all week over this one!

Oma getting Kadan.

Aunt Karen getting crafty with duck tape.

Duck taped flip flops and stick.

New fashion?

Silly girls.

Madison created some great games for the week. Nerf darts. Big hit. Intense.

Now we are getting serious!

Again, serious game!

They make me laugh!

So great with little ones.

This one also makes me laugh. Mischievous at it's best?

Such a big kid. Opa that is.

More snuggles.

More shoulder riding/flying fun!

Deep in conversation....

Good thing for shoulder flying help.

Camping always includes fishing too.

Always has the magic touch =)

Alicia sent this surprise birthday gift for the twins. They had fun on it for about 3 minutes until the 'boss' came out and said it wasn't allowed in the pool. So unfortunately we weren't allowed to have fun on it while camping. However, fortunately we have had lots of fun with it in our wonderful neighbours pool!

This girls makes me smile!!!

More fishing...

While I was trying to capture the fishing moments, I brought these two cuties for a walk.

I would definitely look like this if I had to fish. Was it because she wasn't catching anything? Unfortunately, she actually lost the rod in the water. Daddy went in to try and rescue it on the bottom of the lake. It wasn't found. Fortunately, she's loved so much Oma sent money to buy a second one (that's cause for smiles =)

The boys spent hours playing....I liked the sequence of these next three pictures. =) Plus, see the plumbing truck in the back ground? Another story.

The ball is coming....

It's getting closer!!

SO serious!

Okay. So the plumbing truck. We picked up the kids from camp early. All 4 stayed all week and had disgusting clothes to say the least. Instead of having double the laundry I thought I would be smart and bring laundry stuff to do their camp clothes when we got there and then they would be ready for camping. And conveniently enough the laundry, washrooms and showers were right beside our trailers. So happy. Until we got there. It was all under renovation and the entire building was not in use! HA HA Joke was on me! So, my darling husband brought it all into town the next morning and for the rest of the week it was exercise to get to the washrooms on our bike. Ho hum....Oma's trailer was the best at night (wink!)

Celebrating Opa and Oma's 40th with super yummy sundae's.
