Our first camping trip of the Year....

We took advantage of all the nice weather we had last week and went on our first camping trip of the year! We went up to Kepps Crossing which is only twenty miles from our house. It was so nice to get away and relax. I feel like sometimes I am so caught up with the house and all of the humdrum business of everyday that I don't take enough time to relax and have fun with my family! It was the perfect weekend for camping and we all had so much fun. We had there cousin Brooklyn for the weekend and they were so excited to show her our Camper/"Winnebago", It's not the prettiest thing ever, but we love it and the price was right, free thirty free. All it needed was some TLC!! The shower and toilet even work, SCORE!!! We had so much yummy food! We had Tin foil dinners with Hamburger, potatoes and carrots cooked to perfection, Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and juice, and the crowd favorite, SMORES!!! We also went on hikes, played in the water, and went on an "Adventure", which consisted of collecting rocks, garbage, dandelions, and other miscellaneous items that he kids could find! Chandler found an old Shot gun shell case and "GOLD" (the old shot gun shells that went inside) . She insisted it was a treasure and Gabe was glad to play along! Here is a collage of picture from our trip and a video of the kids had making apple pie in there own camp fire!
