Weekend Trip/Camping

We went camping as a family for the first time.
It was so BEAUTIFUL.
We saw a family of skunks as we were driving in.  I have heard plenty of times about a camping experience involving a skunk named Luis.  It made us a little nervous.  But, we had no problems.
Thomas played and played and played with his friends.  Soccer.  Frisbee.  Chasing bats with flashlights.  Swinging on the tire swing.  Building rock bridges.
Lewis played right along with all of the other big kids.  He played so hard and got so tired that he actually just decided to leave us and head to the tent to go to bed.  To bad when he got inside the tent he couldn't calm down enough to sleep, and was the last one to fall asleep.
Big D took care of setting up and taking down.  You know the manly stuff.
I made tinfoil dinners.  My first attempt and they turned out pretty good.  Even if everyone made fun of me for saying "tin-din" 
It was SO hot and we could hardly sleep because of it.  That has never happened before.  We usually can't sleep because it is too cold.
We enjoyed a great patriotic program put on by the scouts.
Blueberry pancakes, bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Our first camping trip was a success.  We all had so much fun that we came home and slept the afternoon away in our lovely air conditioned home.
