Camping Trip

Yay! Our first camping trip of the year and it was great!!! We had a reserved site, which makes all the difference. It rained the first night but stopped and was beautiful after that! This is the kids throwing rocks in the river.

She liked throwing rocks also!

So we were sitting around the campfire and Maxeen (MIL) heard a noise over by the dog food. She was holding the dog.....We looked over and there was a racoon eating the dog food. It ate a ton! It would leave then come back for more. We were all cautious because we know the reputation the racoons have, but it seemed so gentle. It never made a sound or acted angry at all. It was actually really neat.


All of us!


Our site was at the bottom of the mountain-side. So TJ and Brenden climbed up there all day long. They had a good time figuring out secret ways back to camp.
We had a great time and were glad G & G H were able to come and Tom and Mercedes, thanks guys!

I'm glad you guys had a fun time. Where do you go camping? We would like to go on an over-nighter with the kids, but we don't know where to go. We (I) want a place with facilities. Any suggestions would be great.
