Camping

It's time to catch up on our activities! A couple of weeks ago we took a few days off and went camping. After packing clothes, finding all our camping gear and getting together some food, we headed to Hoffmaster State Park. The weather was great, the campground was really nice, and we had a great time. Anna was so excited to go camping and we were really impressed with how well she did. We decided we would like to be a camping family!

Overall, we didn't spend all that much time on the beach, but we sure had fun while we were there. (Based on all the sand that came home with us in our stuff and Anna's hair, though, you'd think we never left the beach!)

Matt built an island for his sand castle.

We did a few meals over the fire.


Anna has been asking to help us with everything lately! Really nice--most of the time.


A huge thunderstorm early Wednesday morning gave us good reason to leave a little early. Thankfully, Matt had looked at weather reports before we left and was expecting it. We had most of our stuff in the car already, so when we got up we just had a wet tent to pack up. Anna was pretty sad to leave, but we told her we'd try to get out another time this summer and go camping again!
