Camping at Pinecrest

The day Payton graduated from kindergarten we packed up and headed to Pinecrest to camp for the weekend. Since it was Memorial Day weekend Josh had Monday off so we got to camp for 3 days. We drove up Friday night and met up with friends. (Drinkwater Family, Toutai Family, and Burk Family)
We had 3 sites for out 4 families all right next to each other. 
We had 1 central eating area which was in the middle of the campsites. I was really bad and didn't take very many pictures until the end. There is proof that we went though. 
Mckinley and Josh enjoying a afternoon nap together.
Scarlett is just gorgeous I think even with a super dirty face.
Scarlett and Mapuana the two big girls in the group of boys. 
Hanging out around the camp fire pit during the day just talking.
Mckinley loved this bike! It was very handing because we could sit her in this and she would just sit and we would have the kids push her around when she would start whining. 
Boys will be boys! How can jumping off rocks be that much fun?!
Ryan, Payton, Austin, Scarlett and Mckinley playing on the rock. 
It wasn't the warmest weather by any means, but some of us got ice cream anyways. Viliami enjoying his giant ice cream cone. 
Everyone went off hiking to the damp so Me, Krista, Scarlett, and Mckinley stayed back. I wasn't thrilled about the idea of hiking with these girls. So we went and played down at the water. It was sunny and beautiful, but chilly. The cold didn't stop Scarlett from getting in. 
We dug around in the sand/dirt for quite a while. The little girls enjoyed that.
Every so often we would drag the porta crib out of the tent so we could have Mckinley play in it. Viliami would want in with her some of the times. It was handy having the two youngest in there then we didn't have to worry so much about where they were. 
The dads and Ryan went of shooting for a few hours and these kids were left to play around the camp 
They each get along pretty good together. It was a fun trip.
 Love family pictures while camping, dirt and all!

All our cute and crazy kids!
While we were camping Mckinley decided she was done breastfeeding. It was very frustrating because she wanted nothing to do with me. I would try and she would just scream more. At this point she still wasn't really drinking out of a sippy cause and she totally refused bottles. We had one sippy cup that a friend had brought so we were trying to use that. She would drink it only once in a while. To say the least it was a little rough and she was hard at nights if she woke up. Plus it was freezing cold at nights! When we got home I tried feeding her again but she still wanted nothing to do with me. So I was done. Just like that, cold turkey. Man my kids have strong opinions. Its a good thing I love them and they are super cute.
