Okay cheesey title I know, but we did go camping and we did have fun! Santa brought the whole family a new tent for Christmas and we finally had the opportunity to use it for the first time this past weekend. The tent is really big and cool! It has two "rooms" with a hallway in the middle. Plenty of room for the whole family. We really hadn't planned to go camping, but the weather was too nice to say no. Plus the girls wanted to try out their new sleeping bags from pop and nonna along with the new lanterns from Aunt Les. We have camped out behind our house down by the creek before, but this time we wanted to give the girls a chance to experience camping away from home. So we packed the trooper FULL of stuff and drove to Cheaha State Park. We have decided future trips will be longer! It's crazy to set everything up just to take it down the very next day!

The kitchen.
This was another one of our Christmas presents for the family. Its a two-eye propane stove. P put this box together as our "kitchen". He cut out two pieces of wood that hang off the box for the stove to sit on. He's so stinkin' creative!
Pop and Jay rode their bikes up to visit for a while.
Hiking around the campsite before it was too dark.
Everyone helped gather pine cones, sticks and whatever else we could find to make sure our fire stayed strong.
Of course Shelby had to go too. This is what she did while the rest of us gathered things to burn.

Craziness!
Chillin' out in front of the fire after all that hard work!
For a spur-of-the-moment trip we had a great time. The girls both slept all night, never complained and truly seemed to enjoy the great outdoors (as if we didn't already know they would!). Can't wait for the next trip!
