We got some good use of our new tent (Grant's father's day gift) when we went for a three night camping trip to the Wisconsin Dells with the Billadeau's. We were very excited to discover that Grace is quite the little camper. She started by helping daddy set up the new tent. They put the poles together and she was amazed to see the boring old piece of nylon transform into a gigantic three room playhouse. She watched how Grant pounded in the stakes and when he was done she spent the next 20 minutes walking around the tent touching the hammer to each stake. Jim, Carol, Lucy, and Jia all showed up with their new pop up tent- with air conditioning! It was nice to have because during the day it was in the 90's. We spent the days at all of the Dell's attractions- water park, petting zoo, go karts, etc... At night it cooled down nicely and we cooked dinner over the campfire. Grace played so hard all day with the girls that she exclaimed "I'm tired!" and went right to bed in her pack n' play and slept all night. We all had such a good time, I hope we can do some more camping before the summer ends.
