Camping in the Great Outdoors

For Christmas Thomas got a tent a some camping supplies. We had been waiting for it to warm up to try it out. We decided to take some of our youth for one night to test the waters. We were only 20 minutes from home so we played it safe! We took all girls and some adult leaders. A few of the girls had never been camping and probably have never sweated either:) It took a lot of convincing for them to come.

First to do when we arrived was to put up the tents! Our site was beautiful, right on the water!




Then it was time for dinner: hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans & chips.



After Riley went to bed (this took a little longer than normal) we played games, ate s'mores, and had a devotional time.



In the morning (Riley was the 1st one up!) we made a yummy breakfast! Eggs, biscuits, bacon, and hashbrowns. One of our adult leaders made an oven out of a box to cook the biscuits. I felt like I was really camping!









We had the perfect mix of warm weather during the day and colder at night. Our next camping adventure will be on the beach!
