Another camping afternoon at the beach!

We headed out camping the weekend after the boys birthday party, along with my parents and aunt/uncle. My parents also had my two nephews in-tow, as my sister was attending a local music festival with a couple of her friends.

The weekend turned out to be enjoyable, despite the lower-than-predicted temps and the overwhelming gnats! I am seriously still healing from all the gnat bites I had on my neck & arms (even with using bug spray).

Saturday afternoon turned out to be the warmest of the weekend so we headed down to the beach after naps. All four boys played & played; mostly in the sand & a little bit in the water.

This was also the first weekend that the boys really got to use the new bikes they got from Grandpa & Grandma for their birthdays. It was a fairly quite campground & they made trips upon trips around the main camping “circle” road. They started learning to watch for cars, stopping to check for traffic at a road crossing, using their brakes & slowing themselves down while traveling downhill. Wyatt took a little tumble off the side of the road on the first night, after gaining too much speed on a slight hill, and was a little leery about riding his bike the rest of the weekend but if someone walked right next to him, he felt brave enough to try.
