Camping Trip

We just got back from our annual family camping trip and we had a blast! It's so fun to let the kids just run and explore without worrying about them non-stop. They chased squirrels, tried to catch fireflies, collected acorns, gathered sticks for the campfire...lots of great outdoor fun.
Here are our campers after we got the tent set up. Watching us was so exhausting that the kids just had to have a root beer and relax.

After dinner we went for a walk on the boardwalk. The kids collected cat tails and watched frogs jumping through the water. There are holes in the boardwalk so they had to stop and investigate.

When we got back to the campsite we got the campfire going and started making s'mores. The kids were in heaven and would have eaten them all night. (I can totally understand!)

We had a pretty good nights sleep in the tent. It did start thundering & lightening around 6:00am and then rained for about 1/2 hour. Nolan laughed and thought it was fun. Aidyn was a bit hysterical. She and I ended up in the car for awhile because she was so scared.

All in all we had a lot of fun. The kids said they love camping and want to go for longer next summer. Sounds like fun!
