4th of July camping....

Growing up, my family camped all the time. It was what we did every 4th of July. We would go to the same campground, with the same friends, and camp. We would spend time swimming, exploring the campground, playing with Barbies on a blanket in the shade, and watching fireworks. I have a lot of fun memories of our camping adventures.

This year the Chiles' asked us to join them for camping over the 4th of July weekend. We spent three days at a campground in Granville, Ohio and had a great time!

Our home for the weekend....

Our first day was Jenna's birthday, so we celebrated with a little cake....


Our campsite was right near the creek. The kids spent hours in the creek exploring and catching crawdads....

The campground had lots of activities going on for weekend, especially for the kids.
They made firecracker hats....







They also went ziplining.

Looks like lots of fun! Any adults do the zip line? Did you know that Jessica's summer job is activities dir. at KOA in Sandusky? Tell the Chiles to look her up if they camp there - minutes from Cedar Point!
