We thought we'd give camping another try this summer and it was (mostly) a success! We drove up to Lake Alpine with our cousins and Bryan and Alison and camped out for two nights. We slept in a tent, played in the dirt, attempted to fish, took lots of walks, and ate great food. It was so fun!
 |
| The second we got out of the car the kids were off and running and playing together. They especially loved finding sticks and rocks and playing the in meadow behind our tents. |
 |
| We gave Levi this special treat when we got the tent all set up: his very own "Cars" sleeping bag! |
 |
| We all played in the dirt-- even Caleb! |
 |
| Ashley, Jack and Levi ate at their very own "kids table" and their Bass Pro Shop chairs came in very handy. |
 |
| The Lockridges were a little wussy in the cold morning air so we snuck in the car for a quick warm up. Maybe it was because we were up at 5:30am the first morning?! |
 |
| We hiked down to the lake to try our hand at fishing. Caleb and I got to use the backpack for the first time! |

Bryan was the first and only one to catch something!
Can you see the stick? :) |

Neither of my boys slept great the first night- up late, up early- but they managed to take naps and push through the fussiness to have a good day. The second night was great and they made it until 7am. Yay! It was so fun to watch the kids play and enjoy the outdoors and we can't wait to make it an annual trip.
