Roaring River 2016

We had our annual Fall camping trip to Roaring River State Park again this year. We look forward to this every year and our crew keeps growing adding more families and fun to the bunch! Grandma & Grandpa L. were able to join us again this year and we were able to celebrate Jackson's birthday with the extended Bolinger family as well.

 We rode down to the campground in the R.V.! The kids watched a movie, colored, and took a nap on the couch. They were spoiled!

 We took a nice hike- beautiful weather!

 one of his favorite things about camping- hot chocolate!

 I love the fact that our kids use their imagination and creativity while we are camping! The girls have loved this bridge (which crosses over a dry creek bed in the campground) for the past couple of years. They put together "parties" under the bridge complete with handmade invitations, decorations (mostly natural), and interesting games. We had about 15-20 kids total so there was lots of fun (and bickering :) involved. But overall, a great time for friends. 

 this sign says "PARTY!"

 We headed down to RR the day after Jackson's birthday so it was a perfect place to celebrate with family! He requested cookie cake and ice cream, and we delivered :) 

He is so very loved. What an awesome crew of kiddos!
