Camping...practically in our backyard

One of the many things I love about where we live is the lake and surrounding campgrounds. This camping spot is 3 minutes from our new house, and you'd never even know it. We have been wanting to camp for the last 6 weeks, and last weekend was the first "open" weekend we had. We did get rained on in the middle of the night, but our tent kept us nice and dry.

Camryn loved her camping chair and was happy to have her picture taken multiple times to show it. 

Can't have camping without the s'mores.  Well, Bryce can.  The kids and I can't.  :)

Watching for fireflys and raccoons.  The racoons were pretty bold...I had to scare them away with sticks a few time.  (Ever seen The Parent Trap?  Yeah, that was me.)
