Another Camping trip!

Back in August we went camping with the Jones family. They are some of our closest friends and Gavin truly enjoys playing and hanging out with the boys (remember they are twins) and they are now 2 1/2!! Doesn't it just seem like yesterday they were born!!?!?

Anyway, we had a great time camping. All 3 of the boys truly enjoyed being outside and having such freedom!!
The weather was a little less than cooperative. It was cold and very rainy. The campground we frequent has great and level campsites, but in the rain they do turn quite muddy. Rain, muddy ground and 3 boys ages 3 & under doesn't quite make a good combination. Needless to say the boys became quite a mess! We had to find different alternatives for dinner. The boys didn't seem to mind that we visited Pizza Hut for dinner--Pizza while camping? That works!

Don't worry--we didn't completely lose our sense of camping. We did "rough" it a bit. The boys did enjoy their outdoor baths though! These great big buckets are great for little boys and their baths!! They thought it was so cool!!

So yea, the weather may have damped our plans a little, It was definitely cooler, poor Lisa was quite chilly! But quite a trooper!!


The rain can't ruin our trip though, yea we explored a few "extracurricular camping activities" and just enjoyed a a great time with friends. We finished up the evening having "movie night" in one of the campers. Veggie Tales is always a good choice among this group!!
