This past weekend, we had (what we believe to be) our last camping trip of 2012. It was just the seven of us and we had a great time! Now, don't think that there was Cinderella-ish birds singing the entire time we were together. But there were memories made that will last!
We had electricity this time so the Christmas lights were brought out...
a good view of our site...
Breakfast on Saturday morning over the hot coals...
There was a small teaching moment when we discussed how some of life's greatest inventions were the result of an accident...
Such as our new favorite breakfast: thin pancakes wrapped around sausage
We did some fishing (not so much on catching)
Adam is earning his fishing belt loop...
enjoying the sunshine...
Preparing dinner...
the "Before" ribs...
getting the bed of coals ready...
halfway through & just added the sauce...
can't you smell the goodness?!
got the corn on the fire now...
the "After" dinner
this was the MOST DELICIOUS dinner!
2.25 pounds of meat was not enough. I think this group could have eaten 5 pounds!!!
It was Chris's birthday so we decorated the campsite with balloons and streamers. Hannah even made a '44' out of streamers and hung it up. Can you see it?
When we got back home on Sunday, these dogs crashed. This is how they were for about 5 hours! I guess they're a lot like us... so much fun that it wore us out!
It was a great weekend together and a perfect way to end our fall season of camping. The kids love it and are already talking about our next trip. They're asking to go camping when we don't have to wear hats to sleep in and wear layers to stay warm.
We'll see kids... because then there's mosquitos...
