Camping...

I think we've got the camping bug.  We camped a lot before kids came along, but we haven't had/made the opportunity until recently.  Rob went on a one-night guys only trip with guys from our Sunday School class a month ago and out of that came the idea to do the same with spouses (no kids!) this past Friday night.  We had a great time and a great turnout.  It was awesome that the majority of our class was able to attend!  We are planning a family trip in the next few weeks.  This campground was 15 minutes from our house and it felt good to "get away." Here are a few pics.IMG_3496

Fran and Justin had the mac-daddy of all air mattresses!  It was her first time camping!

Mark and Brandy's tent got hung up the next morning while they were out riding bikes...

Two weeks ago, Rob and Drew camped out in the back yard.  Drew was so excited when he and Rob were setting up the tent.  Here are a few pics from that night.  Drew is so excited to go real camping with a fire some time soon!

Drew jumped right in and figured out quickly how to help Daddy set up the tent.

Ready for bed!  Drew was asleep by 8:30 PM and slept all night.  Rob did a little reading and you tube watching and was asleep by 9:30!  They had so much fun!

how fun! Its great to be able to go camping anytime of year down there. And its even better to get away with friends for a weekend without the kids for some refreshing grown up conversation.

Oh, I wish we could go camping anytime! You cannot go camping from about May thru October-- it's way too hot and buggy! Just think of it as summer right now!
