Pick you location carefully (state and national park campsites are likely to be overrun w/ party animals for Labor Day). We find it best to reserve our site far in advance. We also find it best to camp on private property at Jake's new home: lake view (check), shade trees (check), big fire pit (check), room to play (check), fish for catching (check), ample facilities - showers, stocked kitchen, hammocks, corn hole game, volleyball, tractor rides & slip'n'slide (check), family (check), friends (check), friends' awesome camera (check).
(that's the morning mist rising off the lake - it was magical!)
Be sure to bring your best friends along.
(We've already arranged the marriage between those two up there.)
Double trouble.
Warnings: We DON'T recommend letting mom get sick while camping (fever, headache, sore throat, loss of voice). And please avoid stomach flu aftermath by J-boys of all ages (we had to go home a day early and didn't get to see all our OP friends at church on Sunday). But it was still a great weekend! Jake and Jen were amazing hosts - we are now officially way to spoiled to enjoy KOA ever again. :)
I think we'll invite ourselves again next year.
PS - Labor Day marks our blogs 3rd year! Happy Birthday! :)

How fun! Where did you guys move? Oh, wait, you probably don't want to put it up in public for all of blogland to see...i've been trying to figure out your new location! :o)
LOVE that first picture! It sounds great...all except the getting sick part. Yuck!
Camping with family and friends is the BEST! However, I now will only CAMP at the Mariott where I have access to the swimming pool and a toilet to do my business in! Jessie is sure to miss out on yet another life experience because of her old parents! Just kidding.
PS GOOD luck with that arranged marriage. I have a STRONG belief in that and WISH a PROPHET would just back me up!
I miss you I miss you I miss you you wonderful woman you. I miss your kids playing with mine and I miss our wonderful home teacher. I miss you.
Love love love you. I'd love any of your thoughts on a new camera. I played a TINY bit with our D&A's camera and am now totally not satisfied with my own. :) Granted, it's also doing this scary jerky-stutter thing whenever I turn it on and the top right corner is turning black in all the pictures, but still. Either way, what are your thoughts on cameras that you like?
