Camp Vaillant Weekend 2015

A couple weekends ago my nephew Ryan came to stay for a few nights. He had been at my parents for the week so they dropped him off here to stay Friday-Monday with us. We were hoping for nice weather since all our plans were pretty much outdoors. On Friday, the boys played baseball out back while Lincoln napped. That night, Eric took them to see the Bowie Baysox play and they enjoyed fireworks after the game (Hayden's first real fireworks). On Saturday it rained a little in the morning so we played games at home. Once it cleared out we headed to Patapsco State Park for a hike to the falls. That afternoon we headed to the pool for more fun. Saturday night we did smores on the fire pit before everyone passed out from the busy day. On Sunday, we went to Gunpowder Falls State Park for the first time to take our kayaks out. We rented one there so Ryan could have his own. It was a hot day but it felt pretty good out on the water. After kayaking we headed to the small beach there for a little more swimming before we left. That afternoon we went to a different pool to cool off. It was a fun, active, and exhausting weekend! This was Ryan's 3rd year in a row staying with us over the summer and the boys loved having their big cousin around! Here are some pics from the long weekend.....
