Last weekend we went on our second camping trip. This time Alice and her parents joined us. It was a lot of fun. 
We left Saturday morning and after we set up our tents we headed to the beach. Ally was hamming it up with her new sunglasses - they have princesses on them!

I love that we have similar expressions on our faces in the 1st 2 shots and we could not even see each other. That is Tom (Alice's dad) sporting the "urban hipster" look while camping to the right of us.
Turns out the girls both have hot pink rash guard shirts!
Ally was very into playing with the sand.One of the highlights of swimming in the lake was seeing a rather large fish. I did not go swimming, but everyone else saw it and I was told it was about 6-8"! Ally has been telling everyone about how she swam with a fish!
She even went down to water and got her own buckets of water. Becky and I were so proud of her - this was a huge first.
Yes - Ally actually walked into the water herself.
Cheryl said this picture told the future - the attitude in these 2 faces is priceless. They were getting impatient waiting for the popcorn to pop.
But once they got popcorn, they were all smiles.
Cheryl had fun popping the corn over an open fire.
Toasting marshmallows was a huge hit as always, for everyone but Ally. She was a sport and tried, but then all she ate was a couple of raw marshmallows, no chocolate or graham crackers.
Some marshmallows caught on fire, so Becky used her amazing lung strength to put out the flames. The fire was a labor of diligence and effort by Tom and Becky.
Alice eating her first smore. She was so cute - she saw the chocolate bars in the cooler earlier in the evening and kept whispering in to Becky's ears "chocolate". It brought new meaning to the phrase "sweet nothings in your ear"! Alice also set out the smore prep station pictured on the cooler behind her, and she managed to eat 2 all by herself. I love that Tom is pictured eating his smore too.

But I had a great time and hope next year our family hopes to go camping 3 times, and maybe the Mc2 family will join us again.
