We got together with a bunch of our friends over Spring Break for a camping trip. The kids were so excited that for days they were asking, "Is today the day we go camping???" They had sleeping bags and flashlights on the ready. The day finally came and we set off.
We got to the site we were sharing with our friends, and Brianna went inside their cabin and said "I am going to sleep in here with Max because I love him!" We set that straight right off!!! We pulled out our borrowed tent that we thought was supposed to be big enough for all of us. It seemed a little small though as we started setting it up. Lo and
behold.... The queen size air mattress that Brian and I sleep on filled up the entire tent!!! We told the kids they were going to have to sleep outside. They were not sure what to think of that. Luckily though, our friends had not left yet and they brought us another small tent for the kids. Though Ethan wound up with us both nights, Brianna made it all by herself in the tent... all alone... for two nights! What a brave girl! We were so proud.
Ethan mostly wanted to go fishing and cried and cried over a fishing pole before we left. So I gave in and bought him a superman with his birthday money. Of course, only to find out that he wanted the spongebob one instead!!!
I told him I did not see the spongebob one. He replied... "I did. It was at the NEW SuperTarget!" (for a 3 year old sometimes he is just too smart for his own good! The first morning all we heard was "I want to go fishing NOW!" We climbed down to
the water (extremely low due to no rainfall this year) and got set. The kids (and mom) would have nothing to do with putting the worms on the hook, but daddy helped them cast and they had fun reeling it right back in. They just couldn't understand that you needed to let it set a little bit first if they wanted to catch a fish! And Ethan was done after about 4 casts and then just threw rocks in the water. They had fun though they didn't catch any fish and went back later that night.
The trip was a lot of fun. Mom & Dad stayed up late playing games and talking with their friends. The kids got filthy. We absolutely froze at night. We all got sunburned. We all are looking forward to the next one!
