McCormick's Creek State Park - 4/18/15

Took a small weekend camping trip to McCormick's Creek State Park.  Signs of spring were everywhere.  Saturday was perfect and sunny.  Sarah and Elijah joined us later in the day since she has a class on Saturday and Elijah had lawn mowing to do at his Aunt Lisa's.  Sunday was very rainy, but no big deal, it felt nice.  We enjoyed the waterfall and creek, playing basketball at the Inn, riding bikes, the playground (which was right next to our site - score), and a neat little duo singing folk song hymns on a park bench. By Dad.

Fixed Wheelbarrow: 4/12/15

Got this wheelbarrow fixed.  Jeremiah tested to make sure it could go where we need it.  Then Christian pleaded for a lemonade stand around 4 PM.  At first I said no, then I thought what the heck it's just water, powder, and a table.  They ended making about 5 bucks which was a major score in their book. By Dad.

 It fits next to the garden.

Final Four Practice and Allstar Game - 4/2/15

We went to Final Four practice at Lucas Oil Stadium, well the "boys" and I.  The boys got to meet Pat Connaughton, which made their day.  We watched the players practice, then the Allstar game between East and West.  By Dad.

We represented Notre Dame and IU in the house. 

 Jeremiah made it for 5 hours no problem

They were speechless, I told him they were big Notre Dame fans for them.

Camping Trip - Brown County State Park 3/29/15

3/31/15

We took the camper out for the first time this year to Brown County State Park.   The weather was fantastic even with a little rain on the first day.  It was great being away with the family.  Out site was right next to the playground up front in the Buffalo Ridge section, site no. 5.  By Dad.

Isaac, Christian, Jeremiah, and I went for a hike together.

Jeremiah was interested in how to light the hot water pilot.

A hike with everybody

No basketball hoop, so we made due with a trashcan.

Happy 5th birthday Jeremiah!  He was so excited :)

First camping trip of 2015!  It rained the first evening so we all had to be in the camper together for quite a while…it was fun! Can't you tell by Elijah's face?
