On Friday night we went camping for our first ever family camping trip.
We started out by running around gleefully in excitement.
Then we set to work putting up our tents.
Unrolling our sleeping bags (Jack has a really cool Buzz Lightyear sleeping bag)
Unloading the wood from the truck
Getting the campfire going
And whittling sticks down to start roasting.
Jack spent a good chunk of time pulling the petals off all the flowers and putting them in his bucket.
Then he played some football with Uncle Andrew
Dallin roasted brats and cooked our tin foil dinners.
Jack needed to take a rest at the tent.
We popped some Jiffy Pop.
And had s'mores.
Then it was time to play catch before heading off to bed.
Unfortunately our nearby neighbors had a little too much to drink and rode their 4-wheelers around until 3am. That didn't make for the best night's sleep.
The next morning we had bacon, pancakes, and eggs.
Jack really enjoyed his bacon.
Then we packed up camp.
On our way home we stopped for a little shooting.
Jack shot the .22 for the first time.
But then he got distracted by the rocks.
So the boys had to take over with the gun.
We had a great camping trip and can't wait to do it again.
Looks like a blast! Was that a "campground", or was it an area that people got to camp? Glad to see Jack having such a good time, and that Uncle Andrew was able to go!
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't a "campground" we just went up the canyon to the top and there is an area that a lot of people use to camp and we stopped there.
ReplyDeleteDid Jack say, "ok,lets go home now " when it got dark? His dad said that on his first camp out!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! John and the girls keep camping on the trampoline in the backyard b/c their mom won't go "real" camping until Briley is a little bit older--I know I'm a wimp! : )
