Annual Christmas In July Camping Trip

It's that time of year again....Christmas in July at Jellystone in Fremont.  Our favorite place to be!  The weekend started out right with a game of BINGO.  Since there is a burn ban and no fires allowed, it gave us all the opportunity to go to the BINGO game on Friday night.  Tyler won a regular BINGO (but had to share with one other person who also got one) and got $5!!!  Out of all the times we have been camping there, Ben won a rotten card and Tyler won a candy bar BINGO, so this was pretty cool. 

Gabi had an ICE Cheer Camp on Saturday morning so my parents stayed back with her and graciously took care of her, bringing her up with them on Saturday at noonish.  Until then we plyaed some cornhole and just relaxed :)  We planned dinner and gifts for the evening.  Chad/Amber planned out a mexican themed dinner with Carnitas and chips/salsa.  I made an ice box cake thinking this would be the best option closest to tasting like s'mores (since we couldn't have them around a campfire).  It was all really good!!! 

The gifts were great this year...I think everyone did an awesome job of staying within the dollar limit and getting some good things their person would enjoy.  Gabi got gifts from Reese...cute sandals, some Milky Way Minis (which were gone by the time we left) and Baby Lips (her fave).  Tyler got somewhat of a gag gift and we certainly enjoyed watching him open...some non alcoholic beer, Ramen and macaroni and cheese for a nice head start to learning to live on his own at college.  I got a very cute Thirty One Bag embroidered with an R and my fave - Dunkin Donuts coffee.  Ben got some Spongebob golf balls and a Notre Dame coozie.  It was so much fun to watch everyone open their gifts.  We already can't wait til next year!!! 

The girls did some mining, jumped on the big pillows (two new things at Jellystone) and of course, did some swimming some walking and some bike riding.  The weather has not disappointed in that area!  To top off the weekend, on Saturday evening there was a family dance.  So much fun!  The girls had a GREAT time and it was so neat to see even maw maw, paw paw, and Tyler get out there and dance.  Reese was definitely a cutie doing her "dougie with the wheelchair!" 

Sunday morning we got the girls over to have "Picture Time With Yogi" before getting around to go home....another awesome camping weekend.  Always love going back to Jellystone...my absolute favorite place to camp!  We had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
