#Hartz2020 Week 11

A lit bit of what we have been up to March 9-15-

This was Spring Break for us!
We spent the first 4 days camping with our friends the Moncriefs! 

We are Happy Campers to be in our new camper!

Boys love their side of the pop up!

Lincoln and Amelia

Jackson and Noah

Beautiful views and great hiking trails at Buescher State Park.


Bonnie and Russ and Brian and me

The kids had fun finding geo-caching while we hiked.

What's better than s'mores? Chocolate chip cookie smores!

The whole gang!


First time to bring our bikes camping!


What do you flip burgers with when you forget your grill utensils? A machete of course!

More trails!

We loved the variety of elevation and terrian on all the trails!

Fishing time!
 And kayaking!
 One of our favorite parks so far!
 Successful camping trip with our friends and pop-up!

We came home and the next day is when the world seemed to begin to shut down and go crazy. I keep thinking let's just go back to camping!

My parents were here waiting for us to get back from camping. We were able to do a few things with them, but not much do to the Corona virus beginning.

Mom and Dad


 Papa and Grandma took Jackson to the Hibatchi grill for his birthday and some guy gave him a $20 birthday present! So kind!

Lots of swimming with them! Lincoln loved having Papa Gary in the water with him.

Girl's Day!

Drive in movie to see Onward!

Hiking


We had a great time with my family! It always goes to fast!

Lincoln loves having a live in playmate while Grandma is here!

Papa Mel and Grandma Sharon got to watch both boys play some basketball while they were here.
