Trip Number Two and PQ 1-3

We were so excited to be able to spend some good family time with James after his graduation. We've been really blessed over the last couple years to be able to have a lot of family time but it's especially good when it's more than a weekend at a time. We really enjoyed both of our trips during his leave. First was exciting amusement park and big city. Then last week we spent in the great outdoors. 

We signed up for Park Quest again this year and wanted to camp out and do a few Park Quests to start the summer. We had so much fun at James Island last year that we decided to go back. We were too early for crabbing but we still had a great time. I'm learning how to use photos from James' phone.  well, I'm learning and I'm tired so these pics aren't in order. :)
Not part of our trip but she's just so cute :)
And again :) we like her big brother too!





out for a walk sporting our tie dye shirts 






This was actually PQ #2- Assateague Island


The touch tank at Assateague was neat- especially the horseshoe crab

We did go inside a little- the nature center is full of nature books, games, crafts, and animals

Practicing our boating skills

Park Quest #3- crabbing at James Island. It was too windy to canoe




How'd this pic get here? C made his own bike trailer

Nice to have big brothers to cuddle you!

PQ #2 Assateague Island- hiking, geocaching, and old timey games

We got to see the snapping turtle have a 3 course dinner

This was so cute- T was showing KG a turtle. 

Our 2nd night dinner- chicken quesadillas 


The observation tower
Park Quest #1 for 2013: Canoeing at Pocomoke River State Park K^3

Pre-canoeing fun at Pocomoke River

Burpees Day One

Our new camping dessert: camping brownies received mixed reviews- the second night we went with old standby s'mores (with Reeses) 

This view brought us back a second year!


Love Assateague Island- beach fun and ponies too!

and kite flying! what a day!

And baby's beach tent didn't blow away!


We had a terrific camping trip! Looking forward to the next great adventure!
