Camping!! For reals.... ( ;

At the beginning of November we headed w/ some of our friends to Lake Buchanan for some camping. The weather was beautiful. Mild during the day, and a little frigid at night. Unfortunately it's been so dry this year we were unable to have a campfire so we used a little bbq instead. We discovered even two small bbq's just can't warm you up in the morning or keep you warm at tight. ( ;
Our friends brought along little containers for the kids to decorate and collect things in. This was a great distraction while the grown ups got everything set up.

Beanies and Weenies on the menu for dinner!

Smores for dessert!

It had been a while since they had played. They had a lot to catch up on.

The stage.....

The kids are all pretty close in age so they paired off, played, and had a good time.

On the second day the dad's rented a canoe and took the bigger kids for a ride. The little girls decided they didn't want to go.

Relaxing...

Time to head home....

Look at that dirty little face...
