Our 1st Family Camping Trip!

 A lantern my Dad got me long ago!
 We went camping with the Castros and the Hiatts!  So, 7 kids total!  My girls had a blast playing, exploring, using their flashlights, toasting hot dogs, eating pizza (thanks John!) and smores, and telling stories!  After the kids fell asleep, we snuck out of our tents and the adults hung out, laughed, & played catch phrase!  Good times!
 Allie kissing Daddy!
 Allie snuggling Daddy!
 Kailee slept like a log from 9-7... not her typical 12 hours, but not bad at all!  Jared got her a princess sleeping bag and Allie a tinkerbell one... so cute!  Allie fell asleep at like 10 or 10:30 finally and tossed and turned all night (translation: not a lot of sleep for me) and then got up at 7 too.  It was nice weather, but it got down to 54, which is COLDER than I thought it would be.  I was freezing.  It was definitely fun, but the lack of sleep has brought me to the conclusion that we won't camp again til next Spring.  If we do go again this fall, I'm coming home and putting Allie down and sleeping in my bed!!

Me & Allie in our morning glory!  I love her hair in the mornings... CRAZY!!

We went camping at the very beginning of the summer. Lincoln (aka me) didn't sleep but a few hours!!!! But it was so fun, I have to say it didn't get me down.

But yes, definitely a pass time to be enjoyed with older kids:)
