Camping....

This past weekend we went camping with some friends and family.  Jason's Aunt and Uncle own a campground up in northern PA and we always have a great time when we go there.  This year we met up again with my friend Stacy and her family (she has twins 3 months older than Jack and Bella).
Here they are last year:

Over the winter they put in a Splash Park which was just perfect for all of the kids

Jack and Bella goofing off at breakfast (if you look closely on the top of Bella's hair is a flower that we picked on out morning walk... because in her world flowers in the hair = princess)

Then on our last night there Jason's cousins came over with their two boys.  By the end of the trip the kids really missed their TV so we put Toy Story on the Ipad and they were content

We had a great time (even though I am still exhausted)

I can sew :)

To most who read this blog this post might bore you but I just had to share this with my Grandmother. 
I took a sewing class on Sunday to make a "hipster bag".  I can sew the basics but just needed some help.  The class ended up being just me and the instructor so it was awesome to have that much assistance with questions.  The funny thing is as she was giving me pointers so many memories came back to me from spending the weekend with my Grandmother.  I had a plastic toy machine that I could pretend sew with when I was younger and when I got older I can remember just sewing lines in fabric.  I don't think I actually made anything though.  I think I was a better "helper".  I would cut the loose threads and things like that. I can remember her sewing room like the back of my hand...
Anyway.... it was just an overall neat experience (but I will say did make me a bit homesick and ready to come for a visit).  Here is the bag that I made.  Nothing too fancy but a great start
