The day after the McGinns headed home we headed south to meet Nana & Howie at the Little Bow Campground.
There is a beach there so the girls had to play in the sand.
Even Pepper was there for our one night of camping.
Cooling off in the lake.
Hanging around the campsite.
Gwen learned how to relax!
So did Daddy and Cara.
After supper we went for some ice cream and got a group pic.
Then it was time for a campfire!
And out came the marshmallows!!
Roasting marshmallows!
(not our camper in the background)
Here we are with Howie & Nana's camper!
Fun fact: Gwen doesn't like roasted marshmallows...or anything cooked over a fire.
We got the girls bug catchers for the camp out and they had lots of fun catching and releasing. Here Cara has a little butterfly!
Cara mastered blowing bubbles. A very important milestone for a 5 year old!
Then it was Stampede time!
We went to the annual Stampede lunch at Daddy's work.
This year it was the classic Stampede Breakfast.
mmmm bacon!
Lots of Army stuff to look at.
In a vehicle.
Daddy got thrown in jail!
We could have left him there but we didn't - after paying bail he got out.
This year there was a petting farm for the kids.
Sheeps and goats!
Lots of fun!
We had a fun packed day on the Stampede grounds too.
First off the girls met Sponge Bob Squarepants!
They got to sing and dance with Dora and Boots.
Enjoyed a lunch from the midway.
Corn Dog - wouldn't be Stampede without a Corn Dog!
Gwen went with fries.
Then on to the rides!
We almost couldn't get out of the Fun House!
We all took a ride on the Ferris wheel and got a fantastic view!
Cara and Daddy!
We got to see the guy who plays the Earth Harp - he was on America's Got Talent a year or two ago.
So much fun on the rides - it was also really nice that Gwen and Cara could go on so many rides together!
We had a look through the agriculture exhibits.
They posed like real cowboys.
And just before we left we got to see a great performance by the Stampede Marching Band. They had the girls dancing!
Stampede was fun then it was time to seriously get packing - the movers were coming in a few short days to take our stuff to the new house!
Check back soon for the next update!
