Last Day Camping!

Last Day of camping...

while we were ready to come home,

we really didn't want to leave yet either!

Camping was way more fun than we thought!

After we finished packing up,

we all hiked up to the top of 

Mt Tom again...

and since we were all packed up,

we all caravaned up the road in 

different cars!

one last try at a family picture...

{kinda another fail!}

Don't forget Margot!

When we went to look at the

Dam in New London,

we left Margot resting on the bikes...

But I guess a gust of wind knocked her over and 

she was smashed to the sidewalk...

the kids were certain she was 

"dead"!

This summer we discovered the kids are now 

amazing riders in the car.

The older two watch a show,

Angelina just sleeps...

so sometimes, Jon and I had nothing 

more to do but keep ourselves entertained 

with selfies!

We are messy travelers!

And I think we are outgrowing our van...

we were 

p.a.c.k.e.d in there tight!

Next time I think we need to pull a trailer for 

gosh sakes!

We have driven past 

Treasure City 

for my entire life,

we always talk about stopping,

but never have...

until our way home from camping!

It was an awesome little stop...

the kids each picked out a fun little 

treasure to buy...

and we spent far too much time 

with all the fun head cut out things!

{what are they called anyhow?}

When we finally made it home,

the Peonies were in full bloom...

it was pretty much the perfect ending to

our first family camping trip!

Can't wait for next year's 

Family Camping Trip!
