October 10-13~
We took our annual fall camping trip to Clifty Falls this year. We haven't camped there since before we were married! The weather wasn't ideal...it rained a couple of times, but overall, it was a fabulous weekend! I don't think we ever heard the kids say they were bored!
 |
| It was raining when we arrived on Friday night. The girls ate potato soup while the dads set up camp. |
 |
| Brielle and Tim love to pester each other. :) |
 |
| There was a stage near our campsite. The girls made up multiple routines and put on variety shows daily. |
 |
| Headed out to find a trail on Saturday morning. |
 |
| Beilyn & Krista |
 |
| Best Buds- Sydney & Braylee |
 |
| Brynna & Addie dressed alike and requested matching hair dos, which kept us mixing up the girls all day. :) |
 |
| Holding up "Cake Rock" |
 |
| We adults agreed this monkey bar business is waaaay harder now! |
 |
| Can't you just imagine the giggles?? |
 |
| Sunday, we took the girls into Madison to see the Lanier Mansion. |
 |
| After a walk around downtown and a stop for frozen yogurt, we went back to camp for lunch. Oh yes, we did have dessert before lunch. :) |
 |
| More dance parties on the stage. |
 |
| Sure signs of a fun camping trip... a big smile and dirty hands. |
 |
| We had to cut our campfire time short when it started to rain Sunday night. |
 |
| Monday, we went to the Nature Center. Beilyn loves her new baby doll from Aunt Trista. |
 |
| After we toured the inn, we took one last hike and then headed home. |
A few days before our camping trip, I took all 4 girls for their well-checks at the pediatrician's office. They are all over the board when it comes to size. Braylee is still tall, around 80% for height. Brynna is very average, hovering right around 50% for both height and weight. Brielle is little, about 10% for height and 3% for weight. And then there is Beilyn... She is almost 50% for height but waaay below the chart for weight and head circumference. Tiny. It makes finding pants for her extremely hard. She is 24 months in length but more like 6-9mo in waist. Complete opposite of Brielle's build. I have a feeling Beilyn will end up taller than Brielle within the next couple of years.
