Camping

We decided that since we hadn't gone as a family yet we should go. So we did! It was short and sweet.
Saturday I had a Pampered Chef party so when that was over we left for Alder Lake, which is only about 30 mins away from us. It was a fun, windy drive. I'm so glad that we have kids who like traveling and make car rides....interesting. =)
When we got there we walked to our campsite and started setting up. Luckily it wasn't too far from the parking lot, although getting back to the parking lot and bathrooms was all uphill, so that made for a fun walk with 2 little boys who decided they had to go potty every 20 mins! We kept everything pretty simple. Hot Dogs for dinner with smore's to follow. Capri Sun (which they loved because I never buy it) and new camping water bottles. It was pretty warm so nobody wanted to get too close to the fire. Gary wanted to roast his hot dog but wouldn't sit close enough so Greg did it for him. Then he wanted to do a marshmallow but again, wouldn't sit close enough so I did it for him. Isaac had fun roasting his food, but kept dropping it into the fire. When it got dark we climbed into bed and the boys were out pretty quick, and slept really well until about 530 when they decided that would be an acceptable time to start in on their morning wrestle. we eventually had to separate them and spend the next hour telling them to be quiet. And when they wouldn't do that (except for the 15 mins it took them to eat their muffin for breakfast) we decided since we were the only ones in the campground that was up, we would pack it up and head out, before the boys woke up the whole place. We were able to make it out by 715. We got home, unloaded the car, got everyone bathed and headed to church.
At church they talked about provident living which got Greg and I motivated to get our garden started. So after church we had lunch and sat out in our backyard and planned out where our garden will be and what we want to grow.  I'm so excited to get it going this spring!! I'm even more excited that we can have a decent sized garden that won't take up our entire yard!
Unfortunately we forgot the camera so we didn't get any physical pictures, just mental ones...sorry. You'll just have to use your imagination.
