Since we haven't been camping in like a year, we wanted to start going again. So, since it was a long weekend over Valentine's Day, we packed up our trailer and headed down toward Lincoln City on the coast. It rained part of the time, but it wasn't too bad. They have an indoor pool that is usually heated, so Garrett took the girls swimming a couple of times. Turns out though that the heater for the pool had just broken the day before we got there, so it was a little colder than usual, but the girls didn't mind a bit. I personally think they are crazy, because I think it's cold even when the heater is working. So, I stayed behind in the trailer while Bella napped.
Sunday was a beautiful day, so we went down to the beach. No matter how hard we try to keep them dry, inevitably our girls always end up wet at the beach. Even if the water is freezing. They don't mind, though. It's so fun to watch them play in the water and run from the waves and "try" to not get wet. This was Bella's first time at the beach. We sat her in the sand for a little while and she quite liked it. We just love the beach, it is really beautiful and peaceful!
It is so nice to get away for a few days from everyday life. Not to have to worry about things you worry about everyday. We love just hanging out together and playing games. This trip we made Valentines Day Cookies and the girls made Valentines. I also surprised them with the movie Madagascar 2 and we watched that together. In this video, I was trying to get Bella dancing to the song from Madagascar, "She likes to move it, move it...". I missed her, but got Paige dancing and doing some of Alex's tricks. It was cute.
So we had a great time, and hope to be able to get in a lot more camping this year!

That was cute! Glad you got to get-away...lucky! I loved Paige's "Alex" faces--she's good at that!
Camping with a camper must be great! you can go in February, and have a good time. Glad you could have such a great family weekend.
I love the pictures of Lydia with her hats.
I thought that was you dancing next to Bella for a minute! HA HA! Cute posts...I love your girls.
That does look like a lot of fun! I'd love to get away for a few days! I'm glad you guys had a great time!
Wish we were close enough to go camping with you every now and then, cause we sure could use a break like that too! It's always so fun to see your girls and their latest achievements/personalities. Paige is such a crackup! And I can't get over how much Bella looks like Garrett-scary! But fortunately she's got a bit more rhythym than he does-ha!
