We just got back from one of the most memorable campouts of all time. We drove up to Diamond Lake (1 1/2 hours) and pitched our tents for a two night stay. Mr. M was very proud of himself this year as he was able to pitch his tent by himself and build a successful fire. 
We had a lot of fun playing games in our tents at night. Our current family favorites are Apples to Apples for kids, Catch Phrase and Uno. We took lots of walks, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for smores and got unbelievably dirty. 
Thanks to our newly finished trailer we were able take our bikes up camping for the first time. Diamond Lake was a great place for biking. There is an eleven mile bike path that goes around the lake. Richard took the kids on multiple bike rides throughout the day. The three oldest made it all the way around the lake -- 11 miles!! Lady K had the record milage for the day. She biked over 23 miles and she kept wanting more. Mr. M also had close to 20 miles for the day. These are some pictures Richard took on the trip around the lake.

What a fun trip! The pictures are wonderful...and the trailer looks great! So fun to see the finished product!
That sounded PERFECT! I am obsessed with riding my bike right now and would have loved to have joined you! That trailer looks like it is multiplying your fun quotient already!
How fun. We definitely need to do that ride some day. Maybe when Will is old enough that we don't have three babes in the bike trailer...
