We decided to finally go camping as a family this summer. We have not ever been camping all together, and the last time the boys went camping was when Carrie was a baby. We went to a campground just about 90 minutes from our house, closest place with trees. We set up the tent and found Devon's flashlight that has been lost since that camping trip 3 years ago! then we went wading in a very muddy reservoir, I guess you are supposed to be dirty when you are camping.
Can you see the deer? this campsite was so fun. We were the only people there besides the managers. The managers were very nice and let the kids help them feed the animals and gave us food so the wild turkeys would come to our camp in the morning (mixed blessing?)
We gathered wood from everywhere and tons of pine cones since they had done a controlled burn in the campground they were everywhere. They made beautiful flames!
There were tons of hummingbirds
That looks spooky but I'm pretty sure it is a deer. The best part was the the Whitakers came up for a few hours. The kids put on skits for us and we just enjoyed being with our great friends. It seems whenever we get together the kids just pick up where they left off and are best friends. Lewis and Devon seem to do the same. We won't talk about the night- it was not the best part, but the rest was really fun. Next time I'll just take the girls home to sleep.
