Camping . . .

I'm SOOO behind in blogging and with school having started I don't know if I'll ever catch back up but I had a few minutes before the kids come to quickly blog about our first camping experience as a family. You have to remember that it is insanely hot in Nebraska. Not like the dry hot of the desert but the sticky, so uncomfortable you don't leave your house kind of hot only the humid midwest can bring. Because it is so hot here, we don't go camping in the summer. It's a rule I have and if you lived in Nebraska you would understand. But it was SOOO beautiful here the beginning of June that we couldn't pass up an opportunity to pack up our new tent and go camping. I'm not going to lie, it was quite the ordeal. The camping site we wanted to camp at was full (I guess everyone else had the same idea we did). So we went somewhere else that we had never been to. I was not happy when we pulled up. It was a new campground with no trees! Seriously!!! But it worked out and it did have a pretty lake to look at. All in all it was fun and Hayden LOVED it. The worse part about the experience was when Hayden woke up at 4:30 am. Bright and early! We decided to just pack up and leave but we got a good chuckle when we were pulling out of the campground at 7 am!
