The Hones: Camping with the kids!

Blade and I have been so excited to take the kids camping. They went once with us last year with my parents and we all stayed in their trailer so this year would be the first for just the four of us and staying in a tent. I scheduled off this weekend so we could take them. We of course went to Scofield. A few days before we left I checked the weather and friday and saturday looked good but saturday night into sunday was supposed to get very cold so we decided to only go over night. Blade had to work friday so while he was at work the kids and I got everything packed and loaded up into the pilot. As soon as Blade got home and we had lunch we headed up. Once we got their we set up our camp site, got a fire going for dinner, and ate dinner. The kids were in love with being in the mountains. We made hobo dinners and the kids loved them. Then we made smores and they were so yummy! After our yummy desert we played around for a little bit and then put the kids to bed before it got too dark. I thought bed time would be a big fight but I guess all the playing and helping mom pack wore them out, they went right to sleep. They next morning we woke up, had breakfast and headed to the lake. We fished for about 2 hours and Blade was the only one able to catch a fish. After fishing we headed back to our campsite and had roasted hot dogs for lunch. We decided to pack everything up after lunch and go for a drive to see if we could see deer. We weren't able to see any, but we did do a little four wheeling in our pilot and found out that Raelyn hates it as much as her mommy does, and that Kaleb loves it as much daddy does. It was such a great weekend and we all loved it! I can't wait for many more years of us camping as a family!
