Spring Camping

Kevin is our ward scout master, so he goes camping once a month with his "boys." Needless to say, he doesn't usually want to do an extra camping trip with the family during the month. I am sure that has something to do with enblazened memories of children falling into the firepit, or the creek, or some other dangerous area! Our last family camping trip was out to Western Michigan in a little town called Ludington six years ago. It was beautiful there with the beach, quaint town, and a beautiful lighthouse. However, we remember the sand in every nook and cranny of a one year old's body, constant trips to the camp bathroom, overcrowded campground,and a long drive.



Finally, the silly sisters (Audrey and Maddie) convinced daddy that camping would be so fun. And, guess what, it was! Gone are the days that camping was a chore and treacherous. We had such a good time as a family. We went on a small hike, swung on a vine over the creek, and played card games. Kevin even made a dutch oven cobbler for dessert!
