Camping


This weekend we decided to head out and do some camping. We want to go out as much as possible before Ty leaves again. FYI for those of you that don't already know. Ty is leaving in June and will be gone for 4 months :( So we figure we need to make our weekends as exciting as possible. We went out to one of our favorite spots Louisville State Rec. The weather was really nice on Friday. Our friends the Millets had gone out the night before and were planning on leaving Friday night. So the boys got to play with their friends on Friday. There was supposed to be a big storm roll in on Friday, but it hit just south of us. It was a lot of fun watching the lightening and hearing the thunder, but not being close enough to feel the effects of it. We had so much fun!! We love to camp in fact we are going again this weekend. (Weather permitting) So if anyone is up for some camping we would love company.

Landen loved poking the fire with sticks.

Mom I just wanted to have a black and brown stripped shirt! Porter loves the dirt. I was planning on changing them into camping clothes before we left, but as you can see I forgot. Oh well they were having a lot of fun.

This was Landen's first time climbing a tree. He was a little nervous at first, but after watching his friend for a little bit he got the hang of it and had a blast climbing up and down.

Landen and Manning collecting fire wood so we could roast some marshmellows.

Hattie is such a great camper! She loves to be outside! She was so cute at night. In the middle of the night the wind started blowing and the tent started to make some flapping noise. She was asleep on her belly and she woke up, got up on her hands and started looking around like she was trying to figure things out. Then she got this big smile on her face looked around for a few more seconds than layed back down and went right back to sleep. The excitment on her face will forever be embeded on my mind.

This picture was taken about a half hour after we got to the campsite. Like I said before he loves the dirt!

Oh my gosh... jealous! We love camping! I can't wait for Ben to get home (Friday!) so we can go. You'll have to tell me about this place you went to... we haven't been camping since we moved here. (And I'm sorry about the 4-monther... that's SO hard!)
