Eakright Family Annual Camping Trip

wyatt, claire and eli standing by our site number sign. this is the picture that has to be taken whenever we go camping. we started it with wyatt when he stood by the site sign on the first camping trip! this was claire and eli's first camping experience!

we had such a great time camping!! the weather was PERFECT and the kiddos did great! all 3 of them just LOVED being outside so much...i think that we all did! we didn't go hiking like we did the last time, but we did get to go canoeing! unfortunately the canoeing didn't last long since it was close to nap time...meltdowns were starting to set in. enjoy some of the memories of our weekend! :)

jason cooking breakfast our first morning.

matt cooking bacon.

vati/grandpa and the kids playing and picking up acorns. the acorns will be one of the things that we will remember about this trip...our site was full of chestnut oak trees and they were dropping all around us the entire weekend. it made things funny, exciting and a little scary. matt got hit on the head, mutti on the leg, and vati and mutti's car and our car each received a dent. (there may have been other casualties, but those are the only ones i can remember.) if there was ever a slight breeze everyone would take cover! thankfully they didn't fall too to much at night because they were loud when they hit the tents!! :)

claire collecting acorns!

a view of our site at breakfast time...every one's hungry!

wyatt loves finding big sticks. he probably loved it even more that lucy (our sweet and funny black lab) wasn't around to steal them from him like she does at home.

"look mama, more acorns!"

surprise, surprise!

mutti/grandma and eli resting comfortably in the wonderful shade of the acorn dropping chestnut trees!

claire napping. does she look comfortable or what! :)

peeking through the tent window at the sleeping beauty!

wyatt looks pretty comfortable too! i wish i would have taken a nap!

when claire and wyatt weren't collecting acorns, they were peeling the bark off of the pine trees!

cooking breakfast the second morning. it was pretty chilly, but it warmed up fairly quickly.
