First Camping Trip!

We finally took our girls on their first camping trip and we had so much fun!  However, I can't believe how much work it is to take three kids camping.  We drove up on Monday and took two cars to fit everything in!  We were planning on staying until Wednesday morning but ended up leaving on Tuesday night due to Jacob and Makenna getting sick.  Jacob would have toughed it out if I let him but I didn't want Makenna to go through another night there sick.  Even with the crazy sick stuff, we still had a really good time.  The girls absolutely loved playing in the dirt.  We took up sand toys and they just kept digging and digging.  I have never seen them so dirty....they looked like little raccoons because we could only see their eyes through the dirt!  We also took them on some different little hikes around the campsite and they even got to ride their bikes around.  By the time we got back, Jacob and I were exhausted.  Gone are the days of just being able to enjoy the outdoors.  Now, our kids get to enjoy the outdoors while we work to set up everything and then take it down the next day!  Needless to say, it will take some time to recover but we will taken them again!
