Labor Day Weekend

So, I guess we did what more than half the population does on Labor Day... Yup, you guessed it... We went camping! It was soooo much fun! We went with some great friends, Katie and Steen, and their two adorable redheads, Megan and Daniel. We stayed three nights at Mossy Rock campground and just enjoyed being away from every day life. Malia had a blast spending so much time outdoors and had no problem sleeping through the night despite the noise of loud campers by their crazy fires...

Here's the fam outside of our humble abode.

Malia loved this little camping chair.

Getting our foil dinners ready. (As you can see, we put Steen on baby duty...)

This picture looks like daddy is having fun playing in the lake with Malia, BUT, the real story behind this is that Malia just face-planted the sand, (which was actually more like little pebbles), and the poor thing had rocks up her nose and in her mouth.

Aaron and I had never been to Mt. Rainier and since we were only about an hour away, Steen gave us a tour of some beautiful waterfalls and ancient trees. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, so we did not get the chance to actually see a view of the mountain. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun!

Here we are standing in front of the enormous root system of a tree that has fallen.

When we got back from our drive to Mt. Rainier, we all needed to stretch out our legs, so had fun playing with the kids in the park. This is Megan... she had so much fun keeping Malia entertained!

We decided that we need to buy one of these swings since Malia loves them so much.

On the last night we got a little carried away and lit this ginormous box on fire! In the background you see the culprits... the evidence proves that Aaron and I were not involved... :)

Thank you Jensens for the great time! We hope to make this tradition!
