Camp Out!

Last weekend Matt took Bentley and Jake out for a camping trip.  Despite it being the middle of July, this is the first camping trip of the year - the summer is going by too fast and the weekends have been busy for us!

From all reports they had a grand time.  Hanging out with fishing poles at the lake, playing soccer with some girls at the camp site, and eating smores of course!

This weekend Matt plans to take FOUR of my children out to the woods.  Scary, right?!  I will cross all my fingers and toes that they are all on their very best behavior for Daddy and that they have a grand time together in a tent.  :)  Matt's been out shopping - steak, bratwurst, hot dogs, corn on the cob, mushrooms, two types of chips, three types of cereal, chocolate milk... smores and reeses smores.  They go camping for the food, I think.   

I'd consider it a *break*, BUT - the packing up and the unpacking when they get back?  Never quite as quick and easy as it ought to be, or as it seems it ought to be in MY head!!  And this is despite the fact we have a number of camping tubs and have down what we can to streamline the process.  Crazy!

It's all good though - it's about the fun and traditions and memories made!
