Weekend Fun...

So we got the idea that we would try out camping for a weekend. We went to one of the local campgrounds nearby and rented a cabin for 2 nights. The weather was so unbelievably gorgeous. Cool and not a cloud in the sky. The nights and mornings were cold. Perfect camping weather. ;) We rented a cabin that had a full sized bed, a bunk bed and a table. Walking to the bathroom was a bit of an adjustment, but it wasn't bad. We got there Friday at about 4:30 in the afternoon and got settled into the cabin. All the cooking has to be done outside, so we stopped and bought a little grill to cook on. And on Saturday, Eric brought his burner and fried some shrimp and the lone fish that we caught.



My favorite part by far, was sitting out at night watching the campfire and roasting marshmellows. The kids loved it too. Although Payton was exhausted and didn't last very long either night. Eating outside was pretty fun too. Thankfully, it was cool enough to keep the flies and most of the mosquitos away.



We tried our hand at fishing. You should see Payton cast, she's quite the little fishergirl. Cam gets bored with it pretty quick. The entire weekend, Eric is the only person that caught a fish. One fish. No one else caught anything (other campers included). It's a really big lake, and our hunch is that the fish stay in the middle where it's deep.



On Saturday, we fished, played puttputt and rented paddle boats (which is a LOT of work to paddle). There is a playground for the kids that was right across from the cabin, that they played at alot. Oh and a swimming pool, that was open. And lots of kids were swimming. I can only imagine how cold that water must have been. Cam and Pay wanted to swim, but I didn't need 2 sick kids this week. The kids rode their bikes. Eric and I are going to look into getting a rack to bring ours next time. We would have loved to be able to ride with the kids, but there wasn't room for them this time.



Anyhoo, lots of pictures to share. We really enjoyed it and are hoping to get one more trip in before Eric's busy Christmas season starts. Apparently, we are going to be a camping family. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful week!! :)
