We went camping at the coast for Memorial Day weekend. It was just us, Kim and her family, Jeff and Mom and Dad - which is a pretty small group for our family.
We had our own campsite for the first time, which was kind of exciting. We actually set up camp and cooked our own meals all weekend. We used some of our camping equipment for the first time, because Mom and Dad weren't providing everything.
Benjamin found a new sense of power and freedom as he realized that he could go to the bathroom anywhere...and his sisters couldn't. He was very excited that he "peed a bug off a leaf," so Haylie decided that she was going to do it too. I'm sure you all know how that turned out. She was very disappointed!
Travis thought he was a big kid playing trucks with Benjamin.
We went to Heceta Head on the way home on Monday. The kids all had a good time. Haylie and Benjamin played in the puddles, ran from the waves, and fought over a stick (as you can see above).
Elisabeth and Benjamin played in the water for a long time.
It was a fun weekend, with very nice weather for May. We were exhausted when we got home, but full of fun memories. The kids are already counting down to camping on Labor Day :) (Maybe we should try camping out more than twice a year)

Looks like a lot of fun! That picture of Haylie and Benjamin actually came out SUPER cute... it's funny that they're actually fighting over the stick cause you can't really tell:).
Those last two pictures are my favorites!!!
Poor little innocent bug. :)
