Camping

We took the girls "camping" this weekend on grandma and grandpa's RV (or grandma and grandpa's 'bus' as they call it).  They had a whole lot of fun riding their bikes, going for walks, playing at the park, swimming, riding a train, eating S'mores, playing with bubbles and many more things.

There was a woodpecker in the tree right across from our campsite.  He really made his presence known.  When he'd get really loud, he was usually poking his head in and out to see what was going on.  So the girls had to go see "Woody" every time they heard him making a fuss.

Yesterday, our last day there, we were going to eat lunch by the pool.  After deciding what they wanted, they saw a guy walk past with cotton candy.  Of course then they needed some.  We told them that if they ate a good lunch that they could have some cotton candy.  Well, that didn't stop them from asking a few more times if they could have some at that very second.  When the answer continued to be "if you eat a good lunch,"  Addi asked "well, can the cotton candy WATCH me eat lunch?"  What a conniver.  Because I'm absolutely positive that the cotton candy would've sat right on the table and watched her eat her lunch without being touched in the least...yeah, right.

And Livi was swimming by herself (with her lifejacket) by the end of our weekend!  She's a little more gun shy in the water than Addi is.  She wants to spend more time in the water overall than Addi, but she isn't quite as brave.  So anyway, several weeks ago when we were in my hometown, we went swimming at my friend's house and Addi started swimming by herself.  However, Livi refused to be let go of.  But yesterday, we were practicing kicking and moving her arms while I kept my arm under her belly to keep her balanced.  Eventually, I let go and she had no idea!!  I told her when she made it to the wall that mommy let go and she was soooo proud of herself!

The first four pictures are from our previous camping trip that I never blogged about.  It was about a month ago.  Same campground.  Same activities.  Same fun!!
