The Nielsons first family campout

We did it. We went camping...overnight. We have put this off year after year not wanting to bother with little kids sleeping in a tent, getting dirty, getting cold...it just sounded miserable. And yet there we were, camping with a 2 month old. Were we crazy? Maybe, but it actually turned out really fun!
The Fords have their family property and invited us and the Ross' up for an overnighter. It was perfect because we had a tent already set up for us (thank you to Cody's parents), a bathroom, and delicious food prepared by Cody's mom-can you even call that camping? The kids were beyond excited about sleeping in a tent, playing with their friends and cousins, and exploring the great outdoors...
The kids had flashlights and were playing some imaginative game that kept them busy for quite some time...
Sitting around the campfire making s'mores...my favorite.
The kids have never been so willing to go to bed-they loved getting in their new sleeping bags, in a tent, with flashlights hanging above...

We had so much fun with the archery...it was a hoot!
And everyone loves a ride on this thing...

Love these girls!
Capri as happy as can be on the horse swing:
And Clara asleep and snug in the bjorn...
Such a fun little trip!
