Memorial Day 2011 Camping Trip

Even with baby Jackson in the picture we still decided to go camping for Memorial Day weekend. We stayed local....traveling less than 5 miles up the road to camp, which made it nice for the adults to run home to shower or grab the food out of the refrigerator. It also made it possible for me to go home as necessary with the baby who didn't want to sleep in the porta crib.
But we had a great time....especially the kids. A couple other families from church joined us and the kids had so much fun riding their bikes up and down the road. And even more people gathered for a campfire the 2nd night.

We put the kids right to work collecting firewood...perhaps we should have been more specific about how big the logs should be....but they were troopers.
Teamwork....

And Faith brings up the rear....

For a craft we made edible campfires....Carson loved the fact that it was edible!

And Madison enjoys showing off her work.....doesn't she look so grown up in this picture?

Our sleeping space....yes, we do all fit in there...one portacrib, 2 twin air mattresses, 1 queen air mattress, lots of pillows and blankets, and 6 individuals!

As soon as I acquire more pictures from others that took them I will add to here....
