Camping is one of my favorite things to do with the family. It’s better when you can go for more than one night but so far this year hasn’t been too promising. I’m going to try and convince Corey to take a few days off so we can go on a real camp out. None of this set up camp at 5:00pm and take down the next morning before 11:00 am.
A couple of weeks ago we went to Palisades Lake. This was a first for us. We like to try new camping places. We still haven’t found the perfect one. We had a great veiw of the lake from our campsite, however, it was quite a trek to get to the lake. We ate burgers, chips, and cobbler for dinner and had eggs and hot cocoa for breakfast. One of the kids favorite things to do is watch their dad start the fire. Corey was blowing on the coals to get them going and Sophia thought she would help and started to blow too. It was really funny. We had a good time just sitting at the campfire and even telling stories. After the kids went to sleep Corey and I sat and watched the stars as the coals died down. I love camping.
One down fall to our trip started the next morning. Sometime during our drive there we must of hit a nail. We woke to find we had a flat tire. So while I took the camp down. Corey changed a tire. First time for the van and we had a hard time trying to figure out how to release the spare from under the car. Thank goodness for the web on Corey’s phone. Once we got it firgured out and changed the tire we headed out. I’m hoping that August brings more chances for our camping trips. Oh by the way did I mention I LOVE CAMPING.

That looks fun. What a beautiful place!
