camping...the good, the bad, the UGLY

Well we took our first camping trip alone as a family over the weekend. It was quite the adventure. David had wanted us to go back to the same spot he and Aaron had gone for the Father and Son campout, so Allison and I could see how cool it was. We had to stop for a photo of the train bridge we went under (that I had heard about for weeks). It was pretty cool.

As soon as the tent was up, (which was quite an ordeal) it was time to go swimming in the river.It ended up being chilly so they wore life jackets and threw rocks in the river. Allison was just happy to have cups to play with and to get water out of the jug and dump it down her front.

Aaron just took it all in and had a good laugh.

We had fun cooking tinfoil dinners, once the fire was started, and gave an attempt to pancakes in the morning (David told my mom and dad that they really weren't very good. Thanks) We didn't have the best night sleep, in fact Allison screamed so much she and I slept in the car. Will we go again? Not until we practice a few times in the comfort of our backyard. We definitely have memories!
