A Weekend of Fall Camping

Due to the beautiful weather forecast for the weekend we decided that we were going to go on one more camping trip before winterizing our trailer for the year. Shawn, Erin and Owen had nothing planned for the weekend so they decided to camp with us. We chose Wabasis campground this time and since it is so close to Erin's dad's farm we decided we would do our annual fall trip to the farm while we were camping. Since we had looked back at pictures from past visits to the farm Joshua was filled with anticipation of seeing the tractors, the cows and "Farmer Joel" (as Joshua calls him). So, Saturday we headed to the farm in the morning and spent about two hours playing on the tractors, the combine, feeding corn to the neighbors cows (Joshua and Owen loved this), cutting down corn out of the field, and feeding more corn to the horses. The boys were going to be in need of lunch soon so we headed over to Paulson's Pumpkin Patch right after the farm and quickly picked out our pumpkins and gourds. Usually I get lots of great pictures of Joshua in his fall attire with the beautiful color gourds, but this year Joshua wanted no part of sitting for pictures and the fall attire was not going to happen due to the 85 degree heat! We headed back for lunch and naps back at the campground. It was still hot when the boys woke up, so we walked down to the beach and let them play in the water and the sand for a while - who would have thought we'd be playing in the lake in October?!?! On Sunday we spent the morning playing on the playground, despite the wet dew that covered everything. While Cory and Shawn packed things up Erin and I took the boys to the nature trail for a walk. It was such a beautiful weekend to be camping and doing lots of activities outdoors! We had a great time just hanging out with friends, relaxing, playing, having fun together and enjoying God's wonderful world! Of course I took a ton of pictures to capture all the memories so check them out in the video below!
