~Fathers Day Camp Out~

 
 
 Camping Highlights:
*Shortly after driving into the park, with wonder in his voice, Alec said "It's so peaceful here... and I don't know why."  Lyssa responded "Yeah.  I think we're going to see a polar bear... and the Holy Ghost."
*Finally having a tent that actually fit all five of us comfortably!  Yippeeee!
*Roasting marshmallows and hotdogs while each of us snuggled down in our personal camp chairs.
*Not falling into the bottomless potty.  The kids couldn't get over that stinky thing.  :-)
*Sitting around the campfire listening to Alec tell spooky ghost stories in a spooky voice, while Lyssa told happy ghost stories in a high pitched squeaky voice.
*Watching the kids dance and chase around in the trees amongst the glow of a thousand fire flies.
*Packing up as fast as lightening when we heard loud booms and saw big thunderheads rolling in across the skies above us. Gotta love those Iowa thunderstorms!
I can't wait till we get to go again!
Want to join us?

Polar bears, huh? :-) I'll have to ask her about that one.

I would love to come to the next camp out! Thanks for the invite.

Is there room for me in your tent too?
