Camp

Breanna flyin high!

 Isn't this old army jeep fun!  

Camping turned out to be fun.  Though it did have its ups and downs.  We left here about 2pm and got up to Luna at about 8:30pm.  Needless to say we had to set up our tents in the dark and then find wood so we could fix our dinner.  I ended up just fixing everyone a sandwich and going to bed at about 1:30am because Aleah was just wired.  Saturday was a lot of fun!  We started out the morning with pancakes, bacon, hash-browns and hot-cocoa at the main camp.  Breakfast was done by the host family (Sorry, I don't know who that was.)  It was great!  We met again for a potluck chili cookoff.  I won with my red chili!  Totally took me by surprise.  Douglas won for his green chili about 8 years back.  He was busy and sick so I thought I would just make some so we had something to share.  I won a mini mag light.  I'll have to get out my alcohol inks and pretty it up.  :) 

The kids had a blast playing in the creek, meeting family they didn't know, ridding 4wheelers, performing in the talent show, bidding at the family auction, ridding the zip line, catching crawdads, gettin as dirty as possible, roasting marshmallows, launching bottle rockets, and playing on the tire swing.

Saturday night it rained to beat all.  We ended up almost floating inside our tent.  Thankfully Breanna and Aleah who shared our tent stayed dry.  Doug got the worst of it and by morning he had had his fill.  He packed us up despite the sad faces and complaining from the kids.  This time we left at 1:40pm and got home about 8pm with a hour stop in Wilcox for dinner.  Notice a time difference there?  Had a bit of a detour the first time.  hehe  

 

We I didn't get many photos.  Douglas played photographer and I havn't got any from him.  But here are a few with Breanna on the tire swing.
