Our First Camping Trip



Mother's Day weekend we packed up the family and went camping for the first time! As many of you know, my family DOES NOT CAMP!! Roughin' it means staying at a Motel 6 so I have absolutely NO camping skills. It's a good thing we went with our good friends the Nieders and the Clarks. We had a great time, despite the cold nights, sitting by the camp fire, hiking down to the creek, visiting the fish hatchery, and playing in the dirt. It took a little convincing from Julie and Treasure but I finally put Gavin on the ground and let him play in the dirt for the first time! It didn't take too long for him to get filthy and take a chunk out of a stick! Gavin LOVED it though! We can't wait for our NEXT camping trip with Jason's family in Yellowstone. So, props to me...although I didn't use Mother Nature as my toilet and my OOPS-I-Forgot list was rather large, I think I held up pretty well outdoors. :) Thanks for an AWESOME trip Nieders and Clarks...when are we going again?
