Camping fun!


We had a fun weekend of camping with Freddie and Dusti!the kids especially had a blast with their cousins!
They roasted. I had the "putting the mellow on the stick" duty and had given out almost the whole back before i realized all the kids were just letting me put them on their sticks and then eating them. they didn't know about the whole "roasting over the fire" part. We had a really cool camp spot with a lot of woods for the kids to play in, the boys especially LOVED it!
The food was AWESOME! breakfast was eggs, bacon, grits, and biskits YUM!
THIS was my favorite part of camping, watching Daniel chop wood! :)


Wesley's little tent was a big hit. It was so cute, we actually let wesley and katie sleep in it for half the night at least! We gave them each a flashlight of their very own and they used them as nightlights, it was fun watching from outside the tent the lights going all over and then slowing down and down and down until they didn't move, that's how we knew they were asleep. It was pretty cold the first night so we moved them into our tent, but come summer, they are on their own!!
We went to George Washington's birthplace since it was 10 minutes from the campground, it was really neat. 

Then we went out to some land that daniel's family owns and saw daniel's great Aunt Lee, she gave the kids presents, they loved her! Wesley with his great great aunt!

Wow... and I will have you know that I usually check your blog. Camping looks like a lot of fun, I can't wait for warm weather... it is still cold here and windy. I love your pictures... how do you enhance them and add words to them? Teach Me!
