Last Camping Trip

Two weekends ago, we headed out for an overnight camping trip. We left after church on Sunday.
First thing when we got there, we set up and cooked dinner. My mom brought ribs already cooked that we just needed to add bbq sauce to and heat over the fire. YUM! I forgot seasonings for the zucchini, so I used mustard and some bacon to flavor it. It actually didn't taste too bad!


The girls rolled around the campsite on their rollerblades. Our van was packed full and we don't have a bike rack, so rollerblades were the next best thing. I brought mine as well, and the next day we went for a walk and rollerbladed. We stayed at Walcot Lake, and they have great paved paths throughout the whole park, day use and camping. It is great to bike through!
Here is our set up. Michaela and Payden slept in their own tents, we slept in ours with Ava and Corrine, and my mom slept in the van.
Of course we roasted marsmallows and had a nice fire!

Our darling daughters.


I may have forgotten some things for dinner, but I sure got dessert right! We use our sandwhich makers and use pie filling, chocolate, and sometimes marsmallows for the filling. Then we have whipped topping for the top. Soooooo yummy.


Cute little bundle! It was kind of cold in the morning. We cooked bacon and pancakes.



After breakfast, we packed up so we could frisbie golf on the course they have there. Here is Jason, hard at work taking the tent down!


We played on the playground first, here is a picture of all the girls on the swings: Corrine, me, Michaela, Payden, Ava, and Grandma.



Having fun, Payden?





Then we played frisbie golf, which I didn't take any pictures of. It was soooo buggy at the lake, that we packed up, went into town, and found a park to eat our picnic lunch at. Again, very cold! But that didn't stop us from getting shakes on the way home!




That must be pretty good!



I am glad we got to go camping one more time, even if it is a whole lot of work for one day. I actually like when it is colder; I don't like being hot when camping. The crisp air at night and in the morning make it perfect. We all had fun and are looking forward to next season!
