Our last camping trip....

We went camping last weekend for Labor Day and it was officially our last camping trip in a tent. We have been camping for the last couple of years with two good family friends, The Burress and Hargrave family. We all started out in tents, but times are a changing, we are offically the last in our group that are still tent camping. I have never slept in a camper until this past weekend after a 20 minute storm completly flooded the ground and bottom of our tent.

Thankfully Alicia and Rusty let us crash in their camper. We had the girls in bed with us, while Jackson and Dalton shared a bed. All it took was one night, Aaron and I said we will not be camping again until we have a camper.

After the rainfall and tent drama the weekend went on as usual.The kids played in the back of the Rusty's truck bed with a rope for hours. I think Dalton stayed their all weekend. Emma was given her own soda, which is a treat. She only gets sips of soda here and there, but since we were camping we gave her a half a can of soda.



We decided to go to the look out tower and to check out the water. The big kids were able to ride their bikes from our camp sight. The rest of us piled in the car and met them over by the lake.

 Kinley was not impressed with the watch tower. She would rather sleep in her daddy's arms.


 Emma walked around and picked flowers.

 Poor Dalton was not as lucky and got stung  by a bee. I just got a new lens so you will have to forgive my pictures. Hopefully, I will figure out how to work my camera better over the next year.


Dalton is a sweaty mess.
 We ended up going for a drive and getting some ice cream at the emporium in town. Emma did not even make it out of the park before she was out like a light. She ended up sleeping through all of the ice cream fun.


The on our way back Aaron wanted to look for future fishing spots. While we were driving around we were able to get out of the car and walk around. The boys were deep in conversation while watching all of the boats.
