Camping

While the Page family was visiting, we spent 3 days camping at Bellows. I think all of us were a little leery on how the kids would do, but everyone did great. We had so much fun, and Josh and I are making camping a regular thing now.

Here is our area setup. Our tent is onthe left, Jake and Samantha's in the middle, and the screened in tent and tables were ours as well.
Setting up our tent.


taking a break :)

dinner

playing a little football. the area we had was so great for all of the kids (big kids too)

the forecast said rain for the entire time we were there. lucky for us, it only rained a few times, for a few minutes, the whole 3 days

our first night, waiting for the guys to light the fire

the guys admiring their work. it only took a few hours...admittedly, they were using soaked wood and charcoal and had no lighter fluid, so i'm proud they got it lit

cuddling with my baby Kylee

Kylee's first marshmallow

The boys laughing...we were hanging out at the campfire and from out of nowhere it started downpouring. So Josh and Jake ran to the screened tent, zipped it up (and left me outside) but Jake's hair got stuck in the zipper. Josh spent like 5 minutes trying to get the hair out of the zipper, until I stepped in and got it out 2 seconds later.

playing before we go to the beach

Blake and Lexi got along so well

even though she's a great walker, i guess she felt the need to crawl


grilling

josh cut his finger while opening up our champagne bottle. the little sweetheart still poured our drinks for us, though. lol.

um...Samantha took this one in the morning of her and the boys. i stole it cuz its so cute.

Wow, i dont know if i would have had the guts to take really little ones camping. We did it in a cabin, when you were little.
looks like you had a blast!!
