Camping at School Section with the Schraubens

Over the 4th of July weekend we went camping at School Section Veteran Lake Park in Mecosta County. This happens to be one of our favorite spots to camp. It has a great beach and a great playground set that Kaeden loves. Thank goodness for Grandpa Doug who took Kaeden on stroller rides to go swing at the park in the HOT HOT HOT sun! Kaeden had a blast as he does every camping trip because he is outdoors virtually all day. Here are some pics:

Chocolate Chip!

Kaeden has enough hair to do a chocolate chip! Mom used to do this to our hair when we were little :)

Camping at Wabasis Lake

Over Father's Day weekend we went camping with some friends at Wabasis Lake in Greenville. We had so much fun!!!! I can't believe how much fun Kaeden had and how good he was! We were a little worried about how he would sleep during naps and at bedtime because of being in an unfamiliar place but we laid him in bed and he feel asleep on his own like normal! The only time he actually cried was when we were leaving the beach one day because he wanted to keep playing with the "dirt (aka sand), pail and pubble (aka shovel)!". Can't wait to do it again over the 4th with Smith's and Kemmis'!

John Ball Zoo

We took a little trip to John Ball Zoo today. Kaeden loved seeing all the fishies and monkeys! Here are a few pictures from our day:

Pool!

With the warm weather upon us, we were able to blow up the swimming pool Grandpa Tom got Kaeden for Easter. We didn't have a pump so Brian and I blew it up manually... It only took us about 2.5 hours :). Oh well, it was all worth it to see how excited Kaeden was!
