After almost nine years of marriage Doug finally talked me into going camping. It wasn't too hard as the kids were totally into the idea of sleeping in a tent and eating S'mores. I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it actually turned out to be.We we were able to talk the Harrington Family into going with us, and had an absolute great time with them. Thank goodness Chrisanna brought her camera so we could remember this monumental event. Doug stole these pics from her!
Our trip included throwing rocks, eating s'mores, throwing rocks, going to the hot springs, throwing rocks, finding glow sticks in the dark forest, roasting hot dogs, sitting by the camp fire until early in the morning hoping the six kiddos would finally stay asleep for the night, an extraordinary breakfast by Chef Keith, and of course more throwing rocks! As you can tell it doesn't take much to entertain our kids just dirt, rocks, bugs, and some type of water and they are good to go.
Another cool bonus to a fabulous trip was that Trevar turned nine. We were able to celebrate his b-day while on our trip, and he even got to try out his new fishing pole. I wish I could tell you that he caught dinner, but we had to eat hot dogs. Poor us!
After all that fun I soon discovered the downside of camping, and that is unpacking. I had to either clean or pitch everything that went with us to Pine Flats!
Needless to say I think we might try to sneak another camping trip or two in this summer, especially since we now own all of the stuff! Thanks Harrington's for a great time!

Congrats on the new blog, even though it doesnt look too new. Glad you guys had fun on the camping trip!
What is it about throwing rocks in the river? Perhaps it's the fact that this is the only time they're ALLOWED to throw rock!!! :) Now it's all coming together! Sounds like you had a great first time experience!
