Camping fun!!!

Our community held a camp out and boy was it fun.  So pretty much, find a spot and pitch a tent.  What great fun for the kids.  And adults too!!

We found a spot right next to the jungle gym and pitched the tent.  Sure is a lot of stuff for one night.  Tent, sleeping bags, air mattresses, rug, pillows, blankets, PJ's, camera and flashlights.  The only thing we didn't have was a fire pit.  Now how do we stay warm???  Or better yet, cook something to eat???

Once we got settled we walked down the street a bit and there were 2 bounce houses.  One a bounce house and the other a bounce obstacle course.  Then to the left was the most awesomeness or as Cody would say "epic" rock wall ever!!!  He was determined to make it to the top.  I should she he and his friend Natalie were determined to make it to the top and I would say they tried about 4 times before they made it up.  And man, you should see their happy little faces when they got to ring that bell.  I was so proud of them.  Of course I have photos and videos which I will have to upload soon.

Anyway, once it got dark out (which I have noticed it getting darker and darker earlier and earlier every night - boo!!!)  they started a movie on the big screen.  All the kids had blankets and sat down to watch "Cloudy with a change of meatballs 2."  At first Cody didn't want to watch it but once he saw all the kids, he decided to go sit down next to Natalie and Griffen.

Soon the movie was over and it was pitch dark.  Since we were half way between our tent in our house, we decided to walk home, brush our teeth and use the restroom.  Man, the temps really dropped.  Our pj's are in the tent in the cold air.  I probably should have re-thought that part.  We hit the house and got what we needed to get done and headed back to the tent.  It was really fun seeing everyone out sitting next to their fire pits, toasting marshmallows and having a good ole time.  Cody was so ready for bed.  We got in the tent, and jumped under our warm sleeping bags.  Nighty-night!

The next morning when we finally got up, we started walking to the porta potties.  There were lines. Once again we thought, why stand in line when we can walk home.  Our house was so warm.  And I decided to heat up some hot water for some hot chocolate.  Afterward, we snuck off to McDonald's for breakfast.  It was just a very fun camp out.  When we got back, we stood in line for some krispy kreme donuts and went back to the tent site.  I would say around 10am, Ken and I had the entire tent down and cleared out.

So much fun!!!!
