Last weekend is honor of busy season being over we went camping. Apparently I don’t seem like a camper or maybe having three children was the reason but almost everyone we told we were going camping gave me the are you insane look. I really do love to go camping, I love to be in nature, I love the food and that Derek cooks and cleans it all up, I love that I can smell and be dirty and no ones notices because everyone smells, I love taking a hot shower when we get home, I love taking a nap with my kids in the hammock, I could go on but I will stop. This time we went to
We got a new tent for Christmas so it was fun to use them for the first time. The tent was wonderful. We had out grown our old tent and now we have a huge tent we were able to fit mats for the kids, Elsie’s pack and play, a blow up mattress, all our stuff and still have more room. Having a bigger tent made camping so much more enjoyable for all.
Eating apple crisp made in a dutch oven. It was sooo good. Jensen was trying to hide because he didn't want his picture taken.
We went on a mile and a half hike to an old watch tower that was built in the 1700 hundreds or so they think. They are not exactly sure who built the tower but it supposedly is really old.
Playing on the lake beach. It was a warm day so the kids went swimming. They were having so much fun in the water. The water was much to cold for me. A few times Siesa would gasp when she went running in but she didn’t seam to mind the temperature.
Packing up, What a cutie!

You are brave but it looks like an awesome time! That tower is so cool. I believe you when said you guys ate like kings- you're the queen of the dutch oven and I need to pick some of that up (I might like camping better! For now I have a hard time feeling like all the mess is worth it, but I'm working on my attitude!)
You are not insane at all, but I do understand the looks you get. We get them all the time when we go camping. It so much fun that I have a hard time understanding why others don't want to join in the fun.
We also love camping and are excited for camping this summer. Fort Mountain looks a ton different in sunny weather. We went in the fall and it was a foggy, misty day. It was beautiful, but chilly.
Fun to see pictures of your trip. Looks like you guys had a great time!

Looks fun! Joseph's BEGGING me to go camping sometime this summer, but I am so unsure of how our girls will do. Hopefully as well as your kids! Hey, why don't you just come out here this summer and show us how it's done! :)
That is truly wonderful. I can't wait until it's warm enough here to go camping. I sure wish we had your weather. I love the Easter dresses. You are very talented.
