Camping 2012

Last year we took our first camping trip since getting married and had a wonderful time!  Our summer this year has been so busy and crazy we thought we might not be able to go camping, but we were finally able to find a time that would work.  This year we went with my in-laws and 2 of the kids cousins, which was a nice treat.  We left on Friday morning and were able to be gone for the whole weekend!  Our in-laws went up early in the morning and found campsites for us, then gave us a call and we headed on up. 

I had spent a lot of time getting everything ready during the week and it paid off on our trip, everything went smoothly and we had very few things that were a problem.  I did forget the adult baseball gloves, which was a problem when the kids wanted to play baseball, but otherwise it was relatively uneventful as far as having brought the right things. 

The kids spent a lot of time with the men over at a lake close by.  They hiked to it and spent hours hanging out there before coming home soaked from wading in a creek nearby.  While they were all gone my mother-in-law and I had a wonderful time of tea and fellowship, so special!  It rained both afternoons, which cooled things off nicely and made it so much more comfortable for me.  :-) 

On Saturday night we roasted marshmallows and made smores, Yum! 

The kids had so much fun, they didn't want to come home and are already looking forward to whenever we can go again!
