Camping

This past weekend was our annual camping trip with our crew from church. I made the decision to leave Matty with Grammie for the weekend and Dave, Levi and I headed out for our adventure.

We started by buying all our gear (we had no tent, matress or chairs) and then headed for the camp ground. We were the first to arrive and here is Dave by our fabulous tent all set up (its a Roots tent that sleeps 8-Its huge and great!).

Levi really enjoyed the tent box. He actually stayed inside the tent for several minutes but by the time I got the camera he had had enough and was on his way out and into the tent.


It was a weekend of relaxation and fellowship and fun. We chatted, swam and played games. Ate yummy food and enjoyed camp fires. Levi found a new food he LOVED!
Dirt!

He is working on building his little immune system.

I learned how to play a new game called Pandemic. It is a cooperative game where the players are trying to stop the world from being over run by disease. We played 3 times and lost every time. Its on my wishlist. Great game.

Then after a morning devotion we began packing up and getting ready to go home.

Here is our little car weighed down and only half full of its cargo.

It was nice to get back to our little Matty, who had a FANTASTIC time at Grammies. It was sad not to have him with us but it was a more enjoyable time for me since Matty is such a handful. Dads are planning a daddy-sons camping trip where Matty can go with Dave and have a good time.

I always look forward to camping and this was a very enjoyable weekend. Thanks to all who planned it.

Camping is so much fun. Our family has done it since the kids were little. We only took a break when we moved to Wolfgrove but started up again about 3 years ago. What fun it is to go with friends too. As for Matty it is fun for him to have special time alone with your mom and dad. It is also wonderful for your mom and dad : ) Love the pictures.

Looks so fun and what a great tent! It must have been a nice little break to just have Levi...good job for making the decision to leave Matty for a few days. It's always hard to do as a parent but so important to get more time with our hubbies!:)
