Camping

Our class had our annual camping trip this weekend. Last year at this time, Brian was laying on the floor with his back hurting 24/7, so Reed and I went and took a tent. It rained. A lot. I was not impressed with the tent camping. So this year we rented a trailer and we had a blast. We also wanted to rent a trailer to see if it would be something that we would want to do more often. I grew up camping in a trailer so I knew I'd like to go, but I wasn't sure if it would be Brian's thing. (Brian has actually done a little on-line shopping since we got home this afternoon- very exciting!!) Anyway, he went and picked up our rental trailer on Friday morning and I went about loading it up. My friend Alisha that organizes the trip takes care of buying all the food, plates, etc., so all we needed were the basics. We got loaded up, picked up Reed from school and were ready to go.

The boys were SO excited! They couldn't wait to get there (the 45 minute trip was almost too much for Reed to handle)! ;)


I really didn't take many pictures, and I need to be more diligent about it next time. This was a dry creek bed that the kids LOVED playing in- they found a tree with huge exposed roots and called it their 'fort' all weekend.


Some of the boys- Reed, Ty, Heston and Hudson



Hudson, Em, Avery and Livy


Hudson playing with sweet Walt. He lives babies (and their toys). :)


Walt ate a little bit of dirt. What's camping without a little bit of dirt in your diet?


Setting up for dinner...



This morning we had a quick church service. The kids got a quick skit together about the good Samaritan.


This is the Samaritan riding through on her 'donkey'. :)


Hudson got a laugh out of it...


The rest of our service...

Looking forward to many more trips!!!
