Camping Adventure

Friday night we went camping with some friends. I was a little worried about how fun it would be since it had been pouring rain all day before we left. Luckily we were staying in cabins complete with heat, electricity, and lights. We opted for some McDonalds for our picnic dinner. The cabins were super nice inside! They each had a table and chairs, a twin/full bunkbed, and a futon that folded out. It was very clean and fun to be in.





After our dinner we went outside to set up the rest of our camp. Thankfully it wasn't really even raining much up there. It was more of a mist. We could spend time outside without getting soaked. Chris was even able to get a fire going, despite the wet wood, with a little help from our friends...and the neighboring scout troop. :)





We made some yummy smores before bed, went for hikes in the woods, and then put all our kids to bed in their respective cabins. We had an extra cabin because someone decided not to come with us due to the rain. Once the kids were all fast asleep we stayed up playing silly games and giggling for many hours inside.

In the morning we made a hot breakfast of eggs, pancakes, sausage, and hot chocolate. Neil spent most of his time in the playpen snuggled up with blankets. The girls had lots of time to ride their bikes and hike with daddy. We took our time and didn't leave until just before 1pm. It was a much nicer day. The sun even came out.






Overall we all had a blast! It was great to spend time together and with good friends! We will have to do it again sometime for sure.
