Camping in October?

We spent a few days of fall break camping up near Pine! Our friends Dana and Marshall Griggs invited us to go up with them for a few days. We were so excited to take all 4 of the kids camping for the first time. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, it was the perfect amount of time and we all had a blast!

Dana's mom and dad and a couple of her sisters camped with us as well. It's a good thing because they had a lot of supplies and camping know how to help us novices!

Unfortunately it rained the second day we were there - we had left to go on an outing to catch crawdads and while we were gone the rain came rolling in... It was too bad that our entire family left their coats out on the chairs when we left - oops!

Luckily the rain didn't stay long and everything dried out pretty quickly.

Mia was quite the perfect camper. She slept soundly each night in her carseat next to me and generally just hung out around the campfire!

We loved camping so much - it's a ton of work - but so worth it. We can't wait to do some more camping this coming year!

That sounds like so much fun! Good for you guys...I am not sure I would have been that brave. It was cold around here! When we go later on this spring and summer we'll let you know and maybe we can go together. Chris would love having another boy around. Plus you and Andy are a lot of fun. ;)
