Chris and Abram started TrailLife in the fall (Christian Boy Scouts). They went on their first camping trip a few months ago and now they are hooked. Abram loves everything about it... sleeping in a tent, making a fire, eating smores. As soon as they got home, Chris got online to get a tent big enough for our whole family, sleeping bags and air mattresses for everyone. Well, the last weekend of the year we were having beautiful weather and so Chris said, "Let's Go!" And we did!
At first, Jack and Luke weren't too sure about it, but they quickly loved it. They loved being outside, running in and out of the tent, and watching their Papa build a fire.

We really did have a fun time. For our first night, we stayed fairly close to home and kept our food simple. We learned a lot, like what we need to take next time and what we can leave at home. The boys are already asking when we are going to go again. With a family of three boys, I see this happening a lot in our future!!
