Camping with the Neilsons

Last weekend we went camping with our friends the Neilsons at Picnkey State Recreation Area. It was also Free Fishing Day that Saturday so the kids had lots of fun trying to catch tiny fish. We split up the meals and really had fun, but it is easy to forget how tiring camping can be! 

Babies who should be sleeping like to roll around in the tent instead!  The older kids shared a backpacking tent and I think they fell asleep around 11 or so. That made for a short night :)  

Climbing up the slide at the part of the park where we had lunch. She went down so many times!  Sad they don't make slides like this anymore - it is the kind I remember from my childhood days!

And this is what happens after you get all unpacked and the laundry is started. Babies and dads fall asleep quickly!

As Rebecca said right before we left the house to pick up Jacob at school and Jeff at work:
me: Rebecca, do you remember what camping is?
Rebecca: When you have a really great time?

Yep!  That sums it up!
