We enjoyed a wonderful weekend camping at Jellystone Park in Bagley, WI with the Salow family. The weather was PERFECT...not too hot, not too cold....just right! The girls had a blast! We love camping at Jellystone because we never hear "I'm bored!" Between jumping things, swimming, crafts, seeing the bears, pedal carts, mini golf, riding bikes, going to the ranger station, more activities, smores, and evening cartoons at dark......the kids just LOVE IT!!!! This was our first camping weekend there with friends....and it was so much fun! It was "wake up the bears weekend"...as we had to make a lot of noise to wake the bears up from hibernation! The girls thought was was so cool! We walked up to the cabin where the bears were "sleeping" for the winter! Too fun! Kelly and Molly have already asked if we can go to the wake up the bears weekend next year too. This year was perfect.....the Friday ended up being a teacher in-service day....so we left in the morning and were set up by lunch time! It was the best camping trip so far for our family!!!
While we were setting up the campers and getting ready for lunch....the girls were blowing bubbles for Natalie!
Natalie stuck right by Kelly....it was adorable!
Kelly's big bubble!
Molly was proud to catch a bubble on her wand
They moved to blowing bubbles in a big container with straws....
They added this inflatable slide this year....next to the jumping pillow. It was a BIG HIT with the kids!
Craig & Logan picked the girls up in the pedal cart for a ride around the park.....
....then the girls went by themselves!
Kelly roasting marshmallows for Smores!
Logan & Kelly played A LOT of mini-golf!!!!
This was right after Kelly got a HOLE IN ONE!!! She was jumping up and down!!!!
Kelly is a pretty good mini-golf player!
Waking up the Bears on Saturday morning!!!! Yogi and Boo-Boo came out of this cabin we walked to up a little further in the woods.

Wagon ride with BOTH Yogi & Boo-Boo. We were on the first wagon ride and the only one with both Bears. The girls thought that was really neat!

***I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!***
Molly in the pool.....it didn't last too long as the pool was just filled two days before we came....and it was cold!
Kelly lasted the longest....but only about an hour!
So they decided to spray the deck with water squirters instead!!!
This is also one of my favorite pictures of the weekend......when Cindy Bear came out!!!! These 3 girls are SO EXCITED! We went to Jellystone once last year, but Cindy Bear wasn't there. Molly was especially excited!!!!
Molly was the FIRST ONE to give her a hug!!!!
Kelly hugging Cindy Bear!
Craft time with Cindy Bear!

This was the first time the 3 girls sang there song to Yogi.....the Yogi Bear song they learned in Girl Scouts this year!
Quick picture on the slide!
Ranger Smith was there this weekend too!!!!
Sisters!!!!
All 5 kids!
Right before we left, they sang the song one more time for Yogi and Cindy together......they HUGGED each other during part of the song....the kids LOVED IT!!!!
The end of the song!
One last game of mini-golf before heading home. It was a wonderful camping experience, with lots of memories at Jellystone!!!
