Camping Trip

This past weekend we went on a fun little camping trip. Todd loves to camp and wants to make it a family thing. Which I'm ok with it, but I have no idea how to really plan for a camping trip. We've been a couple times since we've been married but I've never really had to plan meals and such. So this was our first trip I had the opportunity to really plan for. Todd got a whole bunch of camping gear for Christmas and has been wanting to put them to use this summer. But with the baby and family this was the first weekend we had that we could really go.

Our friends the Wilcox's came with us. We had so much fun. It was nice to just sit and relax. I got some reading and naps in. We got eaten by plenty of mosquitoes and horse flies. Everett got plenty of time to play outside. He even got to experience falling into a fire! Luckily our friend Tristan was close enough and grabbed him quick. He had no burns or anything. We were all pretty surprised. Sadly he didn't learn from it. He kept wanting to go by the fire. Hopefully someday he'll get the gist of it!

My meal plans weren't the greatest, but everything turned out. I went the easy route and just brought stuff that was already made so all we really had to do was heat it up. We were planning on staying all day on Saturday, but between Everett needing a really good nap and all the flies we decided to head on home early.

The Wilcox's have a camper and I told Todd we should invest in one! We probably wont be able to do that for awhile, but man they seem like they making camping a whole lot easier. Our camping is probably done for for this year, but hopefully next year we'll get some more trips in. I know Todd's already planning on it:)
