Camping, Riverdale Resort & Phillips Reunion-

We took the faraway weekend trip all the way up to Riverdale and had a blast. Friday night we camped over at the river. We had tin foil dinners that of course didn't get done till it was almost dark but man were they good. Owen was so happy to be outside at the river. He was so excited- falling asleep in the tent took him a long time- I think Matt & I both fell asleep before he did. It was fun falling asleep listening to the river.

On Saturday morning Owen woke up still so excited and I knew my efforts to get him to lay down just a little longer wouldn't work when he said, "Look Mom! Sunshine's awake- it's morning!" All that he wanted to do was play in the sandbox so I got to enjoy a warm fire & a good book.

Then we ventured to the hot pots.

Ava loved splashing in the water- she was so excited but every once in a while got a look on her face like she couldn't figure out who kept slashing water in her face and wanted them to stop.

And Owen loved walking all around the pool on the sitting bench thing.

It took some convincing but we finally got Owen to try the slide when we told him we got to climb up the big castle. He loved it and wanted to go again & again- it was just as much fun as I remember it being from when I was a kid.

Then we headed to Phillips' reunion lunch thing-
