So this post is over a week late, but hey better late then never right? Ty got home from work around 4:00 and we were trying to decide what to do with our night and spear of the moment idea we decided to take the kiddos camping. So we hurried around the house got things packed (well at least we thought we had everything) grabbed some sandwiches from our favorite Jimmy Johns and headed to Mahoney State Park. Well at least that was our plan. We got there and the place was already full (it was about 7:00 P.M. by the time we got there). The nice Park Ranger suggested going to Memphis which was about 15 mins away. So away we went. By the time we got there the sun was down. So by the light of Ty's headlights from his truck he pitched the tent and got sleeping bags out. I started a fire and we all got settled in for the night. The kids love sleeping in a tent so much they really just wanted to go to bed. We convinced them to sit by the fire long enough to warm up and then they headed off to bed.
All the kids enjoying the fire.
Oh no what happened to Ports Head??? He told us on the way there that he wanted to tell spooky stories by the fire. So I guess he had to be headless to tell us the stories.
There is nothing better than a nice hot cup of cocoa in the morning to warm you up! I think this is the reason I like to camp:)
Paisley thinks there is nothing better than a nice bottle of hot cocoa in the morning. She thought this was great!!
Our very own rugged mountain man! Yep he is cooking sausage over the fire for our Mountain Man breakfast that was in the dutch oven. It was one delicious breakfast. The kids ate it right up!!
Even though this campsite didn't have flushing toilets it was a lot of fun!! There wasn't a lot of people there and the kids got to run free!!
After all the playing is there nothing better than a nice nap under a shady tree:) Pais sure thought it was a great idea.
