Independence Day camping trip






We went camping at Clinton Lake for Independence Day. We have not gone camping since having Jude so we decided to break us back in easy and just go for one night. We put the girls in our two man tent and set up the six man for the boys and us so that we had room for the cage for Roman. Swimming at Clinton lake was a great refresher after setting up the campsite. The kids had hotdogs on a little fire for dinner (it was too HOT for a big fire) and we had some tasty tinfoil dinners (I got the recipe out of the Family Fun magazine). We happened to camp right next to a dad with his two girls ages 5 and 8 so all the girls had fun playing together. We set up our hammock and had a very comfortable campsite. Until we tried to go to sleep. It was like a sauna in our tent. After a few hours I was able to sleep good. But Joel was up at first sunlight breaking camp so he did not have to take down wet tents. We had breakfast while it was sprinkling and just made it into the van right before the down pour after which we took these funny photos. A fun time was had by all.
