It was a historical moment! Well, almost! We all went camping sort of, me and T. and L. just for the day and the older two and F. spent the night. We found this lovely little state park campground 15 miles away, right on the lake that is not too expensive and we had a really nice day.
We hiked a little, it was a easy trail that even the little ones could do, but about a mile and half or so. There was a playground, and we built a nice fire, read books and played around. We cooked hot dogs, marshmallows, biscuits on a stick and beans and rice in a cast iron pan and had hot tea. (The boys love to eat, what can I say? Most of it surrounded food!)
It was alot of junky food, but we all ran around alot and it was good! I brought two dirty, tired boys home and bathed them and the others called me several times, but are doing fine out there.
They were all so cute and having so much fun, I really wished for a camera. I took a couple of pictures on my phone, but it made me see that I really have to just buy one even if it is not the best!
Sounds like a wonderful day. I love it when we we have been out for the day, and the children come home tired but happy, and usually very dirty!
