Camping

This past weekend we went for a family camping trip at a campground about 15 minutes away.   The best of my knowledge, it was the first time I have camped in a tent and stayed in the tent the whole night.  When we lived in Texas (the first time) we use to camp out a lot in our backyard, but I don't believe I ever stayed the whole night, without coming back into the house.  I haven't really been much of a camper.   But I did spend the whole night in the tent this past weekend.  The Schlip's had a tent, but we borrowed a much larger tent from some friends - and boy was it large.  It had two rooms and Jesse and I estimated that the floor could fit two queen beds and one double bed.  But on top of that, Cristina slept in the truck bed and Jesse slept in his hammock.  The smaller tent wasn't used at all, except as a game tent late into the evening Friday night. 

We roasted hot dogs and brats over the fire, along with s'mores.  We also got creative with roasting Cheese Puffs, whole apples, spider dogs/octopus's (a hot dog cut to look like a spider or octopus), and Jesse got the idea to cut an apple in half and roast it over the fire with some marshmallows stuffed in between.   

For breakfast we ate cereal out of mini, individualized, cereal boxes, roasted mini sausages, and roasted/non-roasted mini powdered sugar donuts.  We also had water and apple cider to drink. 

We had a wonderful time. 

Friday night when we first got there, Steve, Jesse and I played some catch with a football, and then later Cristina and I played catch until supper.  It was a lot of fun and some great quality time.

  1. It was so great to have you with us. You were a great asset in creating things to roast over the fire. :-)
