First Camping weekend of 2015

We got to take our camper out for the second time since we've owned it this weekend and it was every bit as great as we remembered from last year.  We love our camper and we love camping; it's one of the very few times when Dave and I can do nothing and be ok with it.  We stayed at Keyes Lake campground in Florence, WI; very close to where Dave's brother and his family live and got to celebrate our nephew's 6th birthday with them today.  We're so happy that camping season is back and have a goal of camping once each month, from May-October.  We look forward to June and the Welter Family camping weekend with Dave's extended family!
 Wyatt loves every single minute of camping!
 Grace and Madi argued over the title of "Queen of the Campfire," a title Madi came up with last year.  I told them that they should quit fighting since I am the queen of the campfire and they are the princesses!  Problem solved.....or not.

 The little campground office had ice cream treats which the kids keyed in on immediately upon arrival on Friday.  Of course we couldn't leave without having ice cream!


 The campground had a mini golf course too and we got a free round with our stay.  It was so much fun.  They even had a mini club for Wyatt:)  Grace spend most of her time trying to put her ball in the water.....golf may not be the sport for her?
 Seeing Wyatt with his little club, all I could think about was that Grandpa Great must be smiling down on our little man. 

 Taking a little break on hole 11 because, let's face it, mini golf is hard work!
 The funny thing is, she didn't even hit the ball into the water, she just placed it in the water.  Oh well, she was happy as a clam the whole time.  At one point her ball went in one of the holes and it goes through a tube down to another green.  Her mind was completely blown and she told us she lost her ball, it went in the hole!  A little while later she found it and then put it in the same hole repeatedly to see it appear on another green. 

 S'mores!
 My boys.  Does Wyatt's face not just make you so happy?  He is pure joy!
