Camping for one night....

 

I was so glad that our ward had a "ward camp out" this year. 

As much as Josh and I love camping, we never seem to get out and do it unless someone else is putting it together.

It's actually quite sad.

 

So anyway, we went for a one night camp out at Oxbow Regional Park which is only 30 minutes or so from our house.

 

I needed to make sure the tent was ok because we left in such a rush last time we went camping.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a yard, I think so.

I set up my tent in the family room and it barely fit.

The kids loved it of course,

and I successfully jimmy-rigged our tent.

(I also labeled all the polls with tape tags for later to make life easier.  Does that make me weird?)

 

The actual camp out was a blast.

We had friends there and the kids actually slept through the night! 

They woke up entirely too early, but what else is new?

 



 Here's Cohen with his girl friends.

 Have you ever seen a group camping area like this?  It was a little strange and new for me.

I'd rather be surrounded by trees and get some privacy. 

I do love the smores on Cohen's face!



We had some great impromptu entertainment for the night. 

We had Hawaiian songs to a ukulele and great percussion to add to the music.

I found out ukulele is much easier than guitar, and got to try it out for a few minutes.

It was fun!



 

Happy Camping!
