Our first camping trip

We just got back from our first camping adventure with children. We went with Kurt, Carissa, and Trenton and we had a great time. It was a short trip. We were going to leave on Thursday evening, but ended up leaving Friday morning. Kurt and Tim were able to get some mountain biking in and we took some walks and got to take the "chariot" stroller off-roading on some trails. We set up our pop-up camper, but ended up sleeping in Kurt and Carissa's trailer because they had a heater and the nights did get a little cool. The babies actually did very well. They loved being outdoors. There were lots of hands to hold them and they enjoyed their stroller rides and sleeping in between mom and dad at night. We feel a little more confident for our next camping trip. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we it felt so good to leave all our work and such behind and just relax and enjoy God's creation.

Tim and I were able to go to a wedding of Tim's cousin this past Saturday (without the babies). It was nice to catch up with Tim's brothers and sister-in-laws. We had a fun time and even got the men out on the dance floor a couple times. The babies were well taken care of by our small group friends. We are attempting a quick camping trip tonight till Saturday. We'll see how it goes. We are going with Kurt and Carissa. We got a used pop-up camper, so we'll see how the babies tolerate camping. Tim and Kurt hope to do some mountain biking and Carissa and I will relax and take Trenton and the babies for a walk. I am sure we'll have lots of stories and updates for you soon.
