Camping!

Well, months ago, my moms group (I don't really know/like anyone in it but anyway...) scheduled a camping weekend and I signed us up, as I was worried--rightfully so--that a camping outing wouldn't happen otherwise. We took our new tent and the whole family, excepting the feline (and our soft car-top carrier, as the back of the RAV was reserved for the dogs and their fur). We ALL had a great time! Kat is tired! I still can't find the other camera cord for the Bryan/Wendy/Kat pics. Might have to buy a new one.

Here's the new digs....it's 16'x7! We all fit with lots of room to spare. Next time we'll bring the sleeping pads and hope that will help with a good night's sleep. Everyone else (Kat and the boys) slept just fine.

In the east wing.
The west wing. Notice who headed right for the sleeping bags to lie down.....We saw this about a million times.....they were all obsessed with the tent. And they apparently had a competition to see how much gravel/sand/dirt, etc that they could bring in....I don't know who won.

Self portraits of me and the twins while Dan and Kat went in the water. It was waaay to windy (note the whitecaps) for me to think about it. But Kat dug it!
The boys were a huge hit with all of the kids...who knew that holding a dog's leash could be so exciting to so many little people. And if the dog actually got up and moved on your watch...BONUS!!!! We had to call time so they all got a turn. And many thanks Wendy for creating the monster, Kat, who now cannot walk with the boys without demanding to hold one of their leashes..... remarkably, so far, the only wipeout was in the grass--though she didn't let go as I thought she would. It will be great come sledding season.

OMG, that tent is huge! It looks like a fun weekend. I'm thinking next year, Allen's campground (or whatever it was called). Very happy belated birthday to Kat. I am so sorry we didn't get it together enough to get her gift to you in time (or, you know, call or something). We are thinking about you all though. Hope to talk with you soon.
