Memorial weekend Campout

A long weekend off is a rare occurrence so we snagged the opportunity and headed down to Myrtle Beach for a family camping trip with the Arne's.

We may be camping on a gorgeous beach, but Jamis preferred to play in the dirt around our tent.

We stayed at Lake Resort Campground, which was more like a "bring your own bed" luxury resort. We had clean bathrooms (with hot showers), 2 pools, 2 watersides (one was 4 stories high), canoes and paddle boats, pizza delivery, putt putt golf, playgrounds, wifi, phone hook ups, and bike rentals. It was a far cry from our camping days prekids. We kept it real though and were the only ones in an actual tent. While we spent the evening by the campfire, our neighbors were in their air conditioned mobile watching cable TV. Can't stray from our roots too far (or maybe its because I know once I have a taste of RV camping, I'll never look back).

No pictures please
OK, fine. Cheese.

A little snuggle time with mom. This kid is SOOO skinny that he can only last so long in the pool before he runs to you saying "I freezing" Keep in mind it is in the 90's here.

So serious

Warm me up momma

Early AM breakfast for the wee one. See what I mean. The ONLY tent

Getting this kid to settle down enough to go to sleep at night , let alone a nap, was a job worthy of a medal. He didn't want to miss out on anything. He finally would crash and burn though.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend and we were so glad the Arne's were able to join us. Gearing up for move makes weekends like this all the sweeter.

"look at me mom. I got my self all ready to go"
