Back to camp for the season!

We finally made it to camp! The girls had such a blast and fell right back into the "camp routine." It was pretty overcast and chilly and very very very buggy! Yuck. We (mostly me) got really fed up with the bugs so we had to leave the beach sooner than we wanted. Sydney put her feet in the water while the dogs swam. Crazy girl. I can only imagine how freezing that water is. Last year when we visited camp in spring time Sydney fell face first into the icy cold water. She got up, sputtered and then giggled! I recall that she asked to go swimming more. I reminded her that the water was icy cold and she couldn't swim. She hiked home in her undies. This year she didn't fall in but she took FOREVER to hike back up the hill because she wanted to find treasures. I was getting annoyed at how long it was taking them to walk back up the hill because the bugs were attacking us! It was a good laugh. They love it there.

The picture below cracks me up. I believe the girls were fighting over a glitter pen and Sawyer made the most hysterical face!
Sawyer was smart to not put he feet in the water. She quietly sat on the chair and watched Sydney and Remi dog play in the water.

Hiking back up the hill.

Soybean loved the puddles.

Playing with glitter pens.

Sydy used to love riding her trike all around the house. This is now Sawyer's favorite activity.

The girls enjoy their secret hideout in their bedroom. The chalet style house looks like a small cape in the front so both bedrooms upstairs have a knee wall (I think that is what they are called). The secret hideout is a small "attic" space behind the wall. I had the contractor finish off the space, add lighting and paint. I envision the girls playing in their hideout for years to come. I can't wait to decorate the walls and add more fun things for them to do in there. Sawyer was enjoying a good book in her hideout.

We are so excited for the season to begin. I think the girls and I will spend several days a week up there and Daddy can meet us there after the work week ends.
