Camping in October 2011

We took a quick trip at the beginning of October. We just needed a break and I love that we can go and do stuff like this as a family. Our trip did become quite the adventure. We had a great first day of the trip. The boys had done some fishing. I had to take Bethannie to cheer since we never really get a break from that. As soon as we got back though we had dinner. I then went into the camper to get s'more stuff so we could have dessert and get the kids to bed. I put it all on the picnic table which was about 10 ft from where we were sitting. About 15 min later I went to go get all the stuff so we could get the kids started and one of the bags of marshmallows was gone. I went to check to make sure it was not dropped in the camper. Nope. about 5 mins later we heard some animals out in the woods fighting. James and I look at each other and decide it is time to get the kids inside. With in mins we have raccoons out in the front of our camper. James starts crying that this is the worst camping trip ever and he just wants to go home.

Over the next 2 nights we had raccoons run us to the camper every night. We had a great time during the days. The weather was perfect. I wish we could have a few more days more often like these. Where you are carefree and just with your family. I love camping and seeing the kids loving it too is so nice. I hope spring comes sooner then later so we can go again.

Mackenzie and James with their piles of walnuts. and getting ready to crack them all open.




The kids are so crazy.



James and his stack of walnuts that he found. The kids loved finding these.



Mackenzie and her stack. The kids picked them up while on a hike and they filled their pockets and their shirts. Any way to get them back to the campground.




Bethannie and her pile. James then showed the kids how to crack them open. I am not saying this is the best way for a child to open a walnut but hey no one ended up getting hurt so it was all good. But he gave the kids a mallet and the road. Oh yeah you can only imagine.
