About two weeks ago, we decided to take an impromptu camping trip to Cold Springs. Since we are going to Texas this winter, we had decided not to go camping this year. Well, some of us just couldn't break with tradition! :)
The best part about camping... the camp fires.
We took over the pavilion again. :)
The boys strung hammocks from the rafters while we girls slept out in a tent.
The weather was perfect!
Night time at the park
Fried hotdogs and beans for supper! Yum!
Since we left in such a hurry, we forgot a lot of things... like a knife. So we pulled the hotdogs apart with our fingers.
Thankfully Mom threw a can opener in for us! :)
Every night we'd run out to the road to watch the moon rise.
The first night a huge thunderstorm passed through. It lasted from about midnight to four am! We got over two inches of rain during that period. There wasn't much sleep in store for us that night! Our tent was literally in a river! The lightning was pretty scary... Most of the strikes were, according to our phones, zero miles away from us. We expected to be either shocked by lightning or a tree to fall on us. It was pretty exciting!
Abi and Grace ran to the bathroom. They took this picture of our tent from the doorway.
Yummy mocha!
Wraps for lunch!
We played a lot of foursquare in the pavilion.
There were some puddles in there that our ball kept rolling through. Our hands got so yucky!
The little guys had so much fun swinging on the hammocks! :) Blogger is being weird so I can't upload any videos of them. They were pretty hilarious! :)
The highlight of the day was when the boys got back. Let the fun begin!
Sam strung a blanket up for his hammock :)
We had a wonderful evening that night!We stayed up way late, telling stories, talking and laughing.
Our last morning... :(
We only stayed two nights, but it was still fun! :)
Looks like great fun!!! :)
