Spring Break Camping Excursion

Sunday night we went camping with Shawn and Janet and Company. We headed south to Lake Whitney about an hour or so away. We had fun cooking our dinner over the fire, and telling stories into the night. As always the girls had a wonderful time with their cousins. Callie is a sweetheart who helped keep an eye on Carmella.

I loved hearing Mason and Ivy tell their "scary stories". Those two are so funny together, they make a great little team. Emilie and Adelaide did a lot of exploring and tree climbing together, while Hayden and Jason kept each other entertained with their stories.

It got too cold for us during the night, and everyone in our family except Emilie ended up in the car with the heater blaring. We didn't get a lot of sleep, but we still had a good time on Monday.

After breakfast I had a chance to explore with the girls and shoot some photos around the lake. I had a wonderful time watching how the girls laugh and play together. I can't even tell you the number of rocks they collected and brought home. They were so excited about the rocks, and all the lady bugs we found in the sand. I'll bet the lake is beautiful once everything blooms in the spring. It was still a little barren for us, but we enjoyed it all the same.

And, they had great bathrooms with showers. Clean and nice enough to get an honorable mention. I wouldn't mind going back,  especially when the nights are warmer. I'm such a wimp!
