Friday night (26th) we drove to Gifford Pinchot State Park for a little camping with friends. Zach and Tanner were so excited to take their flashlights and make smores. If its one thing I have learned having boys, you can never have too many flashlights. My kids LOVE flashlights.
They were especially excited when they got to watch movies in the dark, sitting in their camp chairs with their best friend Liam. AH, the conveniences of modern living with the camping experience.What did people do before portable DVD players?
Mike and I loved the new tent we got for Christmas. It was enormous. The pictures dont quite do it justice. We had a pack-n-play ,queen and king air mattress inside and still had room for another queen mattress and a couple single sleeping bags. WOW!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It made camping so much better.
The hardest part was getting the babies to sleep that night. They arent newborns anymore, and no amount of coaxing could quiet them with all the noise. Asher was up until 11:00 trying to go down. The campsites were all too close together and the park was full of campers. A woman with a thick New York accent screamed and talked to her 6 kids all night. The 6 kids apparently didnt want to sleep when camping,so they were up all night. It was not fun listening to them into the wee hours. The humidity was so horrible that I tossed and turned all night. Isnt this the case with any camping experience. You never really sleep well.
All in all, it was a fun trip. We will wait to go again until the cooler weather. When having a fire at night actually feels good.

Good morning Tanner
What the...? Putting the tent back in the bag is always harder than taking it out. And more fun apparently.
