Spring Camping Trip

A couple of weeks ago we took our bi-annual camping trip with several families from church. The Perkins are our wonderful planners and make everything so easy for us all to get together. Most of the pictures that I took are from Friday afternoon...that's because the weather was beautiful on Friday...and then the rains came...and the cold front came through. Basically it poured for about 2 hours on Saturday morning. We huddled up under the tarp covering Kendall built over our picnic table and Nathan made pancakes while we all tried to stay dry and convince ourselves we were not that cold. By about 10:30 then rain stopped, but the never came out and the temperatures stayed in the 40's all day. The kids still played and the adults huddled around the campfire most of the afternoon. We all managed to brave it until dinner and then we packed up and headed home since the temperature was suppose to dip around freezing that night. That is all of us except the Best family- they braved the cold and stayed the night. It was a good trip despite the cold. We definitely have memories and stories to tell, but I have to say it was good to sleep in my own bed on Saturday night

I heard it was really cold and I'm impressed you toughed it out that long!
