First Camping Trip

Over Labor Day weekend, we decided to organize our first camping trip with the girls.  We went to Lake Elmo with a plan to stay the night only to find out that severe storms were coming through.  So we stayed long enough to swim at the beach, observe at the archery range, set up the tent, grill some burgers and sing some songs.  The girls both had a chance to try out their sleeping bags in the tent before we packed it up again.  Carolyn and Brian came out to enjoy the evening with us.  It was a good thing we chose a spot that was on fifteen minutes from our house.

We will make our next attempt at sleeping in the tent in our backyard next weekend (provided it is sunny).  This will also let us know if we need to bring two separate tents or if we can manage sleeping in one.
