A Camping We Will Go...

Our family ventured out on a true adventure over Memorial Day Weekend.....


Camping...


with THREE young children.


Call us crazy if you will, but we were in dire need of a little get-a-way and our efforts to get everything in order for our little trip proved to be well worth our time and energy.



Our humble abode for three days...a 10 person coleman tent. This baby fit one queen size air matttress, two twin air matresses, a pack-n-play, four suit cases and room to spare.
















Jared and my brother spent a fair share of the three days fishing.



A few fish were caught but were too small to keep.




My parents enjoyed spending time with the grandkids...and if it weren't for them being there I don't think I would have agreed to this trip.





One day was warm enough to attempt to go swimming...however the water proved to be much much colder than originally anticipated.

















Bella is such a good big sister...making sure Livi's life jacket was strapped correctly.















Despite the freezing temperatures at night an enjoyable time was had by all. We look forward to our next camping trip.

You are so brave! I'm glad you had a good time. We're going camping next week too and I'm nervous about it. I hope ours is as fun as your trip looks!

Very brave. Joe has convinced me to try camping as well. But we only have two so far. I'm nervous but excited for my family to have fun :D

Makes me want to go camping! Where did you guys go? Did Braden sleep in the PIP? I want to take Grayson, but I've never been with a baby as young as he is.
