Pinecrest Camping over fathers day weekend has become a tradition for us, the Drinkwaters, and the Toutais. We just each love it and we love being together!!! The weather was beautiful and the kids were really good.
We spent all day Saturday and Sunday out at the lake. The kids are getting older and are able to go out on the rafts without an adult helping them. (this is awesome) They love the freedom!
Mckinley was as thrilled about the water. She spent most her time right here on the edge playing, and sitting in her car.
The view was gorgeous and there really wasn't a ton of people. The water wasn't too cold so I did get in for a little bit. Scarlett was my floating buddy.
Josh doesn't love the sun so we spent most his time in the shade and snuggled Mckinley for her naps.

The kids did a lot of this!!! They had a blast. They got along so well together it was really nice.

Sunday we did the same things as the day before. We relaxed at the lake.

The kids played here the whole time Sunday. They created paths in the dirt that they filled with water and watched the water run down the paths to the lake. The dug around in this area for hours.
Back at camp all dressed and ready for the evening.

We had a little fun fathers day competition. It was the fathers and their kids racing to see who could get their popcorn cooked first. The dads held the popcorn makers over the fire and the kids jumped around and cheered their dads on. It was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed cheering their dads on and watching the popcorn grow and begin popping.
There was lots of cheering and jumping/dancing around. The kids were very cute!
Monday we loaded up and cleaned camp! We had to get one last picture of all the kids!
Of course we had to get one last picture of us mommies! We didn't even plan our outfits, but obviously we all thought the same about wearing a black shirt! I sure do love these two girls and love that our families have created this tradition!
Mckinley was so good the whole time and never once had an accident. It was a fun camping trip! We each enjoyed not having a little baby. We had no diapers, no bottles, no zippy cups, and no porta cribs. It was awesome!!
On the way home we stopped at Taco Bell! The kids still were not sick of each other and wanted to all sit together. The picture shows Scarlett having melt down about something.
The camping trip was a HUGE success! I love camping. I love my family. I love my friends. What more can I ask for!
