Our first camping trip

Ok, so those of you who know me well know that I am a little prissy. Well I decided to try not to be too high maintenance and go camping. We bought a trailer a couple of weeks ago and wanted to take it out at least once before it got too cold. We had so much fun. Sitting by the campfire roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, watching the kids play in the trees and get really dirty, I enjoyed all of it.
It would get a little too cold for the baby once the sun started to go down so I would have to take her in and put her to bed, but all in all it was a fabulous time.


We are definitely going to go a bunch next summer. I think the kids liked not having to get up and get cleaned up every day. They loved to be filthy dirty. They found some sticks and decided to try to sharpen them like knives. It became quite the task. I think they worked on it more that half of the time. They also found a pine tree that was hollow in the middle and made a hut out of it. It was fun being in the middle of nowhere not having to worry about the phone ringing or the kids trying to watch TV or play video games. I'm a changed woman. I can now say that I like to camp!!

Hi Jen! I was happy to stumble across your blog. Your kids are so cute! Glad you had fun camping - I saw your trailer sitting out - how fun. Vaughn is NOT a camper - I don't think I'll ever convince him to go. He's more of a cabin, bathroom, shower type of guy. Maybe you'll have to give him some encouragment sometime!! :)
