OK, so a few weeks back we decided on a whim to go camping. We left Friday afternoon (Daniel got off work a little early) and we drove about an hour away and went camping at this place near a lake. The boys L-O-V-E-D it. Every moment of it. It was a lot of work for me and Daniel, but so worth it to see the boys revel in it all.

We roasted hot dogs, ate licorice (I don't know why, but my family always brought red vines to eat around the campfire), went swimming at the beach, took a nature hike (it was 1/8 of a mile long ... I think that's more of a "jaunt") and just basically had a good time.

The only thing that was less than desireable was being right next to the bathrooms. It's good because you're right next to the bathrooms ... but it's bad because you're RIGHT next to the bathrooms ... catch my meaning? Anyway, it was kind of a crowded campground, but the boys didn't care. It was a little wussy "car" camping trip and it was perfect for the boys, so I'd say it was a success! Here are the pics:


Noah's face is awesome in this one.






Licorice around the campfire!


We were up and going around 6:30 am ... yeah.




Liam is not really a hardcore camper ... he took some time off "roughing it" to have some alone time in the car with his blanket ... can you spot the wild Liam in this picture??


There he is. He's a beaut!
