Roaring River kids fishing day

We took the kiddos to Roaring River for the kids fishing day and even though they didn't catch anything they still had a fun time! 

Haha, Levi's hat cracked me up. :) 

Camping

Beautiful, beautiful campground!

Me helping Rylan down the slide, haha!

What a cute smile! :)

Sitting right outside their tent!

This was actually a clock, the shadow of the pole would point to what time it was, really cool!
