Our First Camping Trip (EVER)

>> Saturday, June 12, 2010

We went to the Sandy Bottom Nature Center to see about camping out for the night.


We rented this cute Mongolian Yurt for the night.

We all enjoyed looking out the skylight.

It slept six people with two bunk beds and trundle beds that rolled out.
We loved the gorgeous view of the lake from our cabin.
We are not campers so it , so it shocked everyone that we were doing this (without our husbands).  Pics had to be taken for proof.
Aunt Brittney took this pic for the Cover of Camping Magazine ;)  Ha! 

The Camp Out Cousins checking out the campsite.
We went for a little hike to find a geocache that was hidden in the park.

Butterfly Garden.
When there is not wind.....you make your own!
Since I made the fire (thanks to a little instruction from Bear Grylls shows) Aunt Brittney had to roll up her pants and get yucky walking into the lake to get a bucket of water to put out the campfire. ;)
Sweet Siblings!
We headed back to the campsite for the night.
Time for Smore's!
Mia enjoyed her Smore while playing her DSi.





YEAH, we survived our night of camping! Even though at 9 o'clock at night Blayke announced that he wanted to go back to Aunt Brittney's house. ;)

This morning after breakfast we rented a paddle boat to take out on the lake.
Ready to ride!
Having FUN on the lake!
