Ward Camp out

We had our ward camp out for church this Friday night. We had a great time. Last year we had a 2+ man tent and we crammed 4 of us in there. We did not get any sleep. This year we got a new tent that is a 7-8 man tent and it made a huge difference! We slept so great! T Jay and Summer shared a queen air mattress and Jess and I had our own and there was still room for Matthew's play pen! Here Jess is getting us all set up.
Mama and T Jay enjoying the comfy bed! Man do we like to rough it! What would the pioneers think?!!

A quick family photo before we headed home. T Jay was not happy about leaving! We had so much fun. This was a great practice run, we are going to Medora, ND and Mt Rushmore next weekend for a camping trip. It was good to practice getting the tent set up and the kids sleeping in it. We love camping!!

When we got home, we all had showers and naps before heading down to the zoo. After a fun time checking out all of the animals, we went to the park next door and had dinner. Jess made dutch oven chicken pot pie! It was delicious! And let me add that this was the first time in 10 years that I just showed up and enjoyed something! While I was napping Jess got everything ready and loaded into the car! Things are really fun when all you have to do is show up!!!
