Smith Maiden Camping Voyage
Our home on wheels!
Sweet set up with a heated pool and hot tub!
Beautiful (and clean!) bathrooms and showers with constant Christian music playing everywhere!
The camper filled up quickly with the many baby necessities!
Pack-n-play.......great for night time, nap time and play time!
What would camping be without all the amenities (water, AC, oven, stove, microwave)...
Katelyn loved playtime on the "big people bed"!
Swing, Swing, Swing!
Yes! We finally went camping in our new pop-up!!! After Craig's huge sacrifice of selling his Harley this past Spring in order to purchase a "family toy", it was about time! We spent the weekend in Holland at a private campground not far from the beach. Due to the weather, we stayed close and enjoyed family walks, playing at the park, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, playing games, campfires, (staying dry) as well as all the necessary camping foods :).

The Critter is Crawling
Cruiz'en the Floors
Loves to Give Kisses
She enjoys sitting up in her crib, but sometimes forgets to lay back down to sleep.....
Katelyn has become officially "mobile" by crawling this week. She's just 8 months old and continues to light up our home. She also cut her two top teeth a couple of weeks ago and just recently they have really come down! She's looking so big!

Isabel's 9th Birthday!
4th of July!
We enjoyed a full 4th of July! It started with breakfast in Door at the CRC church, followed by the parade (which Katelyn thoroughly enjoyed!). We then chilled at Mom and Dad Smith's house for an afternoon of swimming and grilling. We wrapped up our day with fireworks in Grandville with Kristy and Mike and their girls, as well as Joel, Brenda and Emma. (Don't mind Craig's crazy look after we purchased a "date-night" snack at the fireworks of roasted pecans and a virgin pina colada for a mere $16!) The weather was perfect and it was a magnificent day al' round! Katelyn doesn't know how blessed she is to be growing up with wonderful family all around us!
