last week of summer

To make the most of the last week of summer, I booked a spur of the moment camping trip for the kiddies and I. Our summer has been so much fun, I don't want it to end. I can't believe that soon the kids will be back at school. And hockey try-outs start on the long weekend for R - nothing says end of summer to me like the start of hockey season!

K dropped the kiddies and I off at my favorite campground in the 1000 Islands - the same one the kiddies and I camped at in July - and picked us up a week later.

We pretty much spent the entire week here...

at the pools.This campground is so great for kids. They give you a schedule of activities when you check in, that you can take part in as you like. It's like sleep-away summer camp {but I get to go too}!

You can start every morning with a jumping contest at the pool.

And this week you could tie-dye a t-shirt...

{the kiddies found a cool 'stick bug' by the tie-dye station}

go on the daily 'Water Wars Wagon Rides' around the campground {a huge water fight between the kids on the tractor-pulled wagon and all the other campers - so much fun!}...

make a water yo-yo, get an airbrush tattoo by the pool, have movie nights with popcorn in the main lodge, or outdoor movie nights, etc. Our kids spent hours and hours in the pool daily - they lived in their swimsuits. {Thank goodness for the waterproofing on Miss S's cast - the only downside was having to dry it out each time it got wet!}

A friend of mine and her girls came to spend the week with us in our trailer and the kids had so much fun together. And it was great for me to have someone to have 'margarita happy hour' with at the pool and after the kiddies crashed for the night!

I wish we had more weeks of summer to spend here.
