Camping

A couple of weeks ago we decided to try out a little camping trip. We were all so excited, we could hardly stand it. The weather was going to be gorgeous, and we were going with one of our favorite families the Mangums. Dan the dad of the family is in scouts and knew right where to take us...so it worked out perfect. It was in this beautiful little camping park called Double Lake, and it was only about 2 hours away. So we got there and instantly started setting everything up, while all the kids enjoyed the great outdoors. Mac and Abby were in heaven. Mac actually just really like the dirt and the bubbles that we blew! Abby just loved to see whatever the Mangums kids were doing, then follow along! Then as night fall approached we ate something called Frito-pie for dinner (it's just chili, cheese, and frito chips..and it's yummy!) And after that we tried and tried to get Mac to sleep but he was having none of that and I honestly was starting to wonder if we should head back home! But Ben decided to take Mac on a drive and that did the trick! So the night went okay, but the kids woke up 5:30am, so that wasn't too great, because no one in our tent slept well. Oh well. We decided since the whole camp was still sleeping that we would go check out the nearest little town and we found some awesome antique shops. Of course they weren't open at 6am, so we waited to go back until 10... and then found some amazing finds! I would post pictures, but my camera is being dumb again. Then it was back to the camp to do something fishing and vegging out. I actually caught my first ever fish!! It was a baby bass... that's right "I caught you a delicous bass." I was stoked!! But grossed out! Dan thankfully unhooked it, showed it to all the kids and then released it back into the water. After fishing our kids started to get cranky and the whole no sleep thing had started to take affect. So we decided to head on home! That's right... we only lasted about 24hours...but for our first ever family camping trip that's not so bad!! We had a blast, and we can't wait to do it again in a few years : ) Thanks Mangums for being so fun, and taking us along on your camping adventure!
