We went on our ward campout last weekend. Jake and I debated about going... he had lots of homework and I can't sleep through the night without having to get up at least 3 times to go to the bathroom, but the kids were so excited so we went.
I didn't take any pictures that first night. I brought glow sticks and gave them out to as many kids as I could. They all loved them and I loved being able to find my kids in the dark.
We don't have a tent big enough for all of us so Jake and Brooke stayed in the smaller one and Kaylee, Austin and I had the bigger one. I don't think Jake and I slept at all that night. Jake couldn't stretch out and I had Austin right next to me. He was moving all night long and would cry if I couldn't find his binky right away. We also had some raccoons steal our lunch during the night (they were pretty loud).
In the morning once we had breakfast and finally warmed up the kids headed to the lake.
All Austin wanted to do was throw rocks into the water.
The girls favorite park was playing with their friends at the playground.
I had to take at least one picture with me in it to prove I was there.
There was a big herd of bison across the lake from us.
The kids had a great time camping. I think next time I'll try to convince them to camp in the living room instead. ;)
