Camping Trip!!!

I'm sure all of you have heard this story already, but forgive me.  We are just so proud of ourselves. We finally went camping!  And it was pretty great.  Hooray for being brave.

We started out with a van full of happy campers.  And a TON of other stuff.  Definitely no lightweight considerations here.

We got ourselves a big fancy tent.  Because there are so many of us now!

Ezra and Esme helped us check in to the campground.

We had a very glamorous set-up for sweet Thomas.  

Because who wouldn't want to keep this guy happy?

We found this hammock when we were packing up stuff to move last year.  Knew it would come in handy someday.

That night we had supper at a restaurant we found with Becca and Taber last year and we've been dreaming of it ever since.  And because we're hardcore like that.  

Then it was time for bed.  The kids were super tired...but did they fall asleep?  No oh no.  Not for a loooooong time.  And then did they stay asleep?  Nope.  And then it was morning.  Well, kind of.  We were up pretty early.

So we walked around a bit.  

Then we looked at each other, shrugged and packed it up.  We had the most delightful drive home and our first camping trip will go down in the books as a huge success!
