Abby's First Campout

The weather was finally nice enough for us to go camping this year. This was also Abby's first camping trip which is crazy because she is almost two. We are such slackers! Abby made up for lost time though rolling around in the dirt and collecting sticks and rocks. Kennedy and her had a riot goofing around in the tents and looking for "wild animals".
We went up to Brighton Recreational Area and tried the Appleton Lake campground. It was almost like Utah camping with a little more seclusion than other Michigan sites we've tried. Here are some pictures of of our adventure:

Daddy and the girls pitching the tent. Kennedy thought this was so cool.

Kennedy brought her own little tent to play in. She loved having her own "house" in the woods.

Enjoying a S'more. Yum!

I think Abby likes marshmallows.

Kennedy showed us how to write all the letters in the dirt. She was so excited to learn that her world was just a giant coloring book and all she needed was a stick.

Kennedy tried her hand fishing. The fish kept taking our bait and she said, "Mom I don't want to FEED the fish, I want to CATCH them!" Tim said we could try one more time, and we hooked one. Kennedy was a little nervous to see it jumping out of the water. While Tim was getting the camera to take a picture, the fish got free. Kennedy was happy and even waved it goodbye. I'm glad I didn't have to dig the hook out. Everyone won!
