Family Camping Trip




This past weekend we went camping with most of my mom's family. Yes that is right we were camping with my parents 4 of my aunts and uncles, my siblings, their spouses, and some of my cousins! There was a large group of us and we had a great time! We went to Patoka Lake in southern Indiana. We arrived Friday evening and had to put our tent up in the dark but with the help of my sister in law Cathy and my day shining flashlights on us we got it up in no time (well mostly Chad got the tent up). We sat by the fire roasted marshmallows, hot dogs, and ate way too much food! On saturday we took a walk down to the beach which was 3 miles each way, so on the way back I had to give piggy back rides to the kids, whew that was a workout carrying them! We did a lot of relaxing and hanging out and had a great time overall! Even though it was FREEZING outside at night!!!!! The kids had a blast and loved spending all that time outdoors!

What fun! I am glad that it all went well and you had a great time! I love the Fall (even with the cooler temps) and an jealous that you ALL got together to do that!

How fun! I went camping once with Keith in September when it was cold, so I feel for you. I hope you are all warmed up now! Such cute kiddos!
