Camping

Last weekend we went camping with two other families (Melissa, Eddy & their girls & Heidi, Burt & their boys). We camped about 1/2 from home & we were able to set up our tent on Thursday night that way we could just enjoy Friday night. Once we got there we had grilled dinner & let the kids run around, ride there bikes & play. We had a camp site that was right next to the playground & the bathrooms so what more could you want.

Emmersyn was also surprised to see one of her (pre)school friends was camping right around the campground. So she & Tylar, along with Rylie where here there & everywhere on their bikes. While Bryceton, Tayden (who hung out with both the boys & the bigger girls), Elijah & Isiah all road their bikes around & played.

Saturday was great, the weather was in the low to mid 70's & overcast. Which made camping very enjoyable. We just mainly sat around camp talking, & having fun. On Saturday evening is when we planned to have our big meal which was Steaks, potatoes,garlic green beans, corn on the cob, salad & bread. We ate like kings & everything was wonderful (Thanks Matt for cooking all the food over the open fire). After that we sat around until it got dark enough for the kids to do some sparklers & then we also had made room for some s'mores.

By 10 o'clock we parents put all six kids to bed that way we could enjoy the last night camping. Early on the decision was made that no one was taking any firewood home with them. So Matt & Eddy decided that this was the time to get it all burned up. We were having a lot of fun just talking a laughing (thanks Heidi). At times the fire was taller than Matt was & when it started dieing down the guys went looking around for any more twigs or branches to throw on it. Around 3:30 am we decided to call it a night & head to bed since we did have to pack everything up in the morning.

Can't wait until another camping trip or bonfire.
