Camp Out

We had a great time at the Ward Camp out. We arrived on a very sticky hot Friday, but after unloading we got to take a dip in the lake. The kids had a great time splashing around and playing in the sand.




We roasted hot dogs. The rain held out most the night. We would get a little shower here and there but nothing severe. The kids including Michael all played capture the flag. They all seemed to have a great time.


I was finally able to bet my boys down around 9 PM. They woke up once when the older kids were playing hide and seek and ran into the tent, but they did rather well. Joshua woke up around 2AM saying his hips itched. I looked at it and he had a little black beetle crawling on him. Once that was taken care of we were good to sleep for a few more hours until the thunderstorm hit. Our tent held up but we got a little wet, when the wind would whip the fly up a little. The boys were a little nervous, but we survived and were good to go in the morning. We had a yummy breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fruit. We are so blessed to be in such a fun Ward, with great friends.


We played at the lake until nap time and then headed home. The boys had a good time digging in the sand and playing in the water. Joshua burned his back a little, but had a great time. The boys really do love camping.
We were all very tired at the end, but only the boys got rest.

Fun!! Where was the campout? I was just thinking today that I really wanted to go camping (well, fishing really). Which is probably insane since I have a two-week-old in tow now . . .
