We took our first camping trip with the kids to Gooseberry falls! When we arrived at the campsite, the boys had fun helping daddy set up the tent. After it was all set up, the kids ran like crazy around and through the tent playing. It was such a perfect night with very few bugs and very peacefull. We headed on the trail towards the lake. The kids had fun playing in the rocks and water. Then we headed toward the path up to the falls. Along the way Tyler and I spotted a squirrel making noises, but didn't realize that we were standing less than 10 feet from a fox! It sat there for the longest time just watching us and then stood up to stretch and wondered off... It was very neat to see! The walk to the walls was beautiful and so peacefull. The kids were very excited when they spotted the first water walls and loved putting their hands and feet into the water. We walked 3 miles that night! What amazing little hikers!!!! When we got back to the campside, daddy started the campfire and it wasn't long before we had 2 little ones asleep in our arms. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening!!! After a good night sleep we woke up and hit the falls, where the kids had a blast playing in the water. Afterwards we found a quiet picnic spot and ate some lunch and spent rest of the day enjoying gooseberry falls. This was a perfect family Getaway!

Having the Time of Their Lives
The boys were so excited to be on the road heading to grandma and papa's house! I knew it was going to be a long drive when the kids asked me if we were there yet. At this point we weren't even through princeton!
When we finally arrived in SD, the boys flew into Grandma and Papa arms, and then were off to see the Tractor. Everything looked so beautiful with flowers in full bloom. Grandma and Papa's garden looked amazing! We had so much fun picking raspberries and fresh vegtables. The boys favorite is picking peas and eating them right in the garden. Papa had fixed up the swing that I used when I was little and had it ready for the boys. They squealed as they went higher and higher on the swing. It felt so wonderful going back home and spending a few days on the farm!
