We finally had a weekend with no soccer or baseball, so Jeff and I decided it would be a fun time to take the kids camping. I have never camped with the kids and Reese has never camped, so we thought it would be fun for some family bonding and good times spend outdoors. I was a little nervous, I am the total outdoorsy, sleep in a tent type of person, but we had a GREAT time. When it cools off, we will definitely do it again. We did all kinds of stuff, set up camp, rode the 4-wheeler, cooked hotdogs, beans and s'mores on the camp fire. We hike, rode on the barge, caught butterflies and dragonflies in nets, hiked and just enjoyed the outdoors. We also saw/pet the horses, played with Wilbur, saw "Nappy" and fished a little. When asking the kids what their favorite part was, the overwhelmingly popular answer, "Hiking in the woods". They found sticks, rocks, bug, leaves, and an abandoned turtle shell--this just goes to show it really is the simple things in life!
At the last minute, Aunt AC, Uncle Russ and baby Brooks decided to join us--Brooks was such a trooper and did great! They slept in the house, not tents, but we enjoyed them and were glad they could come along.
