So we got back from Idaho on Sunday and on Monday I unpacked, washed, and repacked for beach camping. We left Tuesday and came back late Saturday night. We had a few set backs with the tent trailer on our drive, so Tuesday night we ended up staying in a hotel. On Wednesday we found out it would be too much $ to fix the tent trailer so we sold it and my dad came and helped us bring all of our stuff to the beach for us. We still had enough tents and bedding for everyone, so despite our small troubles we still had a wonderful week! Grandma Susan, Uncle Kurt, Skye, Aunt Rebecca, Baxter, Uncle Greg, and our family were all there. Here are a few fun pictures of our trip...
Van with cousin Baxter. Van was this dirty after 10 minutes of being there.
Grandma Mike came to visit one afternoon with my cousin Heidi and her kids. (I should have made grandma put her teeth in).
Uncle Greg with some of the kids.
The kids trying to bury Danny in the sand, but they kept throwing sand in his eyes.
What a big helper Hanna is!
Danny did another "camp out" with Max for his date night. Max's cousin Zachary came too. Well, it all took place at our house, but the kids had a lot of fun! Danny made a fire in the backyard and they cooked hot dogs and roasted marshmallows for sommores. I made a dutch oven peach cobbler (in the oven) for us as well. Then Max and Zachary slept in their tent in the front room and watched a movie. They had a wonderful time! 
I love that Danny does date nights with the kids, sometimes they're simple, but the kids will remember these times they spend with him. Danny once took Hanna to the top of the Stratosphere and she always says, "I see my date night." PRICELESS!
Van is 20 months now and he is sleeping in a big boy bed! We always move our kids up to a big bed at this age because I'm always expecting a new baby 2 months after, so I don't want them to feel as though they've been kicked out. The first night in his bed he did a really good job, he was really excited because Max was in the top bunk and Van thought that was fun. The next day for his nap Max went and laid in his bed and told Van to go night night and after a few minutes Max came out and said Van was asleep. He has had a couple hard nights, but he has done much better than Max and Hanna did when we switched them.
Van is also an amazing swimmer (with floaties)! I've never seen a baby swim like him. He will put his head under for a good 3-5 seconds and paddle his arms and kick his legs and never chock on the water. He'll lift his head up and take a breath and does it again. He loves the water he's a little fish. Van has no fear, he'll jump off my mother-in-laws very high step (waterfall) and diving boards over and over again! I'm so excited I figured out how to video tape him, but of course he didn't perform to his full potential. Never mind, it's not uploading, I'll try later.
I can't believe I'm 32 weeks already, I'm getting excited, but also very nervous.(Hanna took my picture).
Having fun swimming!
Van telling me where his popsicle went.
Van sleeping on Grandpa Ernie.
Swimming and going down water slides. (Max kept going on these two slides over and over again all by himself, while my mom and I played in the pool with Hanna and Van).
Eating lots of yummy treats!
Floating down the river. (Just Danny and Max did this one because there were some scary parts. Danny fell off at one point going down a waterfall, he said he did everything he could to keep Max on the tube).
Lots of traveling (not so enjoyable, but the kids really did a good job. Yesterday we drove all the way back home and only stopped twice).
