At the park while camping...

When I booked our campsite backing onto a park, this is what I envisioned:
 
 
Luckily this park was only a ten minute walk away because we backed onto a couple of old swings...  bit of a disappointment.
 
 
The slides were big and bumpy so for the first time Caelan went down "train style" with Ry.  After that he was good to go on his own.
 
 
Everyone had a good time at the park but I still had a hard time getting anyone to look at the camera!

First time camping as the Piché 6

Required some new accommodations... We bought a second hand 1987 Coleman Laramie tent trailer.

 
Ronan thought this outdoor living might be fun...
 
 
 
We wanted to go somewhere close for our first adventure and we didn't have a lot of time to book something for a variety of reasons.  Unfortunately that didn't leave much to choose from, which the kids were quick to pick up on.  I don't think we were there 15 minutes when we heard the first "I'm bored!"
 
 
We also recently acquired this eating tent.  After one of those crazy windstorms we had this summer, Damian drove by this tent for days hooked up on a farm field's fence all inside out and upside down.  It was probably after a week when he determined nobody was going to claim it and he'd bring it home.  It took a bit of time to right it, but we were happy to find only one small snag in the netting!
 
 
Although Ronan has mastered rolling from his back to his tummy, he still acts surprised when he succeeds at rolling from his tummy to his back... Enough to make everyone laugh at his expression anyway.
 
 More pics to come!
