Quikie but goody

Well, we decided for Memorial weekend that we would try some camping. This Ray Stevens song comes to mind every time I think of the word "camping" , I digress, but you should listen to it sometime. Anyways we couldn't stay for the whole weekend, just Friday to Saturday. The girls loved it. We drove to Scott County park on Friday and lucked out. They don't accept reservations, first come first served. Well they were pretty full when we got there. But the place we got was a dream. Number 41 if you are ever in the area, nice.

Friday night we just sat around the campfire with marshmallows. Then on Saturday we got up had a great breakfast and hiked a little bit. After that we headed to the pool. The weather was beautiful, but we left with more than our fair share of bug bites. Enjoy the pictures of our "quikie but goody"

Hold really still and maybe they won't bite, but Wayne just might take a picture...

Olivia, "This is a little higher now that I'm standing on it, maybe not this time Dad..." (but Audrey didn't seem to have any problem)

Cheese, it was hard to get a whole family shot, not to many were braving the woods, just too many gnats!! But Scott County is beautiful... there's golfing, horseback riding, biking, swimming, and hiking.

Our campsite, we had a few neighbors from Maquoketa. They had a dog named, "Chewy" that Olivia and Whitney just loved.

Have I mentioned there were bugs...

Yum, Yum breakfast, Wayne is in his element when he cooks by the fire. I thought these eggs were so beautiful...

Here's the pancakes, the one of the left is Daffy Duck, in case you couldn't tell, I'm not sure but I believe the other one is Mickey... (there's also a picture of the bacon that I didn't download, but it was sooo unbelieveable good, Wayne and I couldn't help ourselves, so our diets didn't survive the weekend much)

What a guy, it is so cool to see a man cooking your breakfast, couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks honey for a great weekend!!!!

She thought this up all by herself, so we had to get a picture, if you can't tell she made a marshmallow weight, and it was a little heavy...

Happy Memorial day! Wayne and his girls...with the hatchet, he was teaching them some of his woodsman skills...
