Gone CAMPING!!!

yay! it's time for our first camping trip of the year! i can't even begin to tell you how long the kids have been counting down the days for this trip! EVERY year, we go camping here....i mean since before the girls were born (i think i've worn several maternity bathing suits in their pool/river).....and i swear, u'd never know this place is a KOA campground - it's absolutely gorgeous & there's so much to do there! i HIGHLY recommend it for tent or RV camping!

we usually go on the holiday weekends every year (memorial, labor, & sometimes 4th of july)....but my dad took a new job a few months ago and can't get off for the holiday weekends this year.....so, nana & grandpa gave us the choice of 2 weekends to go camping (the weekends he is off from work) - we picked the first available cause we just can't wait....and it turns out that we just so happen to pick...

REDNECK WEEKEND! ~rotflmao~

i know, i know....at first i was like - 'oh no, this can't be!' - the thought made me cringe....believe it or not, curtis was like 'so?!' - he's only concerned with getting in some fishing time (and they have not only a stocked pond, but a river that runs right through the camp ground - complete with waterfall!).....but after checking out the activities planned, i'm thinking this might actually be fun.....my mom is entering the Bub-a-que contest....and i bet i'd do pretty well at the husband callin' contest ~lol~.....oh, and i have to tell jaden about the armpit serenade - he'll win that hands down! ~lol~ mmmmm, and a pig roast - can't wait for that! costume & decorated camp site judging, karaoke, the usual hay rides.....this will be fun!

plus, we're regulars now.....and the same folks always come for the themed & holiday weekends.....it's such a nice crew & the kids have a BLAST every time we go! here's some pics of previous camping trips to keep u until we return.....i'll be back in the blogging world on monday....i hope u all have an AWESOME weekend! i KNOW we will!!! :0)
