Camping

Since we have limited options on when we can do things like this we just went the day we could.  It rained in the morning and we went into it knowing we had a 50% chance of it raining again.  After naps we got in the car and went to a lovely little campground (20 min. from home).  We set up tents and started to cook just as the rain started.  The kids were unfazed by the rain and having a blast.  Tony and I had fun too until we really looked ahead to what our night would look like given some water was already sneaking in to the tent.  We decided to pack it up and go home.  We stayed 4 hours.  It was basically a glorified picnic.  It was awesome.

Overview of the campsite.  This is all I have for pictures of our adventure, but I'm so glad to have documented that we got this far.

Ada is feeling the warm fire as Tony cooks some yummy steaks on the campfire.

And then were the days of drying...

I deem it a success because we all still have a positive outlook on camping as a family and I think we'll try next week on Tony's day off.  And frankly, there are no three people on Earth I would rather "camp" for 4 hours in the rain with.
