Camping Trip

On Sunday after church we headed out to Possum kingdom to go camping. I was not exactly thrilled with the idea to tell you the truth. We finally got to the camping site around 5 ish. We got to drive around and pick the site we wanted and found a good one that a was little hidden and a playground right across the little road. We start unloading our PACKED TO THE RIM car and start the fire and set up the tent. All of that went suprisingly well. The babies wanted to go play at the park in the sand and there were a few kids there so they played in the sand and got really gross dirty but they were happy! We then cooked our hotdogs on the fire















After that we had more park play and exploring our little area. We then HAD TO HAVE Marsmellows on the fire. Those were yummy messy but yummy!
Around 830ish Autumn asked to go to bed and since I was tired also We went to "bed" (Eli wanted to be a sweety so he purchased me an airbed on clearance but we forgot to pack the airpump) so Autumn fell asleep I did a little reading and fell asleep while my wild boys played with the fire and were being goofy.

It rained just a bit on Sun night but not bad! Mon we woke up and the kids had breakfast which consisted of cold pop tarts (yuck) and powdered donuts ( yuck) and a water. I had a bowl of cheerios and a banana. Around 9ishe we headed to the hiking trail. We had a stinking blast hiking around looking at all the diffrent stuff, the cool trees, and just taking in the beauty of God's creation, and just spending time with just us, no TV, no phones, no computer!










After the hike it was lunch time. Then just play time! We had to fish because that is what the kids love to fish (IT IS SO STING BORING). Then Riley got to play with the slingshot which was a HUGE HIT! Then back to the campsite to start the fire and start the burgers! Then after dinner had more marsmellows.

The 2 babies were exhausted so we got them ready to sleep. Right around 9ish the park ranger starts comming around announcing we are in a tornadoe watch with 4-5 inches of rain possible and golf ball size hail. We were going to ride it out but both the babies got a little freaked out and even though they had already fallen asleep we decided that the idea of golf size hail did not sound appealling! So we packed up quickly ( with 2 kids sleeping) 1 kid who just wanted to play in the fire and 2 tired adults. Made it home last night around midnight Eli and I showered and went to sleep. I will totally go camping again even if just for the hike! It was so good to get away and enjoy the family!

So this was the end of the trip here is the cutest picture of the 2 babies while we were packing up!





I have tons more pictures but do not want to bore anyone!!
