Twenty three cuzzies attended our annual camping trip (Mason was napping)! Our group keeps growing as the family adds new babies. This group picture isn't quite as big as the one we took on Memorial Day but it's a close second! These trips we started back 10 years ago are still going strong even though us McGrath's have managed to come late or nearly miss the entire trip more than once. We'll get better guys, I promise!
This year we went back to Turkey Run - if I'm remembering right, this is our 3rd time there as a Cuzzies Camping group. It was hot, it's always hot. And, some of the cuzzies decided to rent campers to make it more comfortable for the tiny babies (good choices). We hiked some new trails and the Dads took the bigger kids down to the river on Saturday afternoon to do some rock jumping. I was too hot to hike down there but now I'm sort of wishing I'd have sucked it up and gone along. It sounded like they all had a blast in the river.
And, a camping trip isn't complete without sparkers and smores and staying up later than normal. These three big kids had the best time hanging out and I can't wait to plan more things for them together now that Jenny and Jack live much closer!
All in all, this was a very quick trip for the 4 of us McGraths - we came in late morning on Saturday and left right after breakfast on Sunday. Ryan's travel really had us book ended in but I'm certain we'll be more prepared next year. Now the question is - can we get sites at Indiana Dunes? We tried so hard this year and everyone was ready to book the day they opened up to us. But with so many people joining the camping ranks during COVID we weren't able to grab spots. Keeping our fingers crossed for next summer!
