Our FIRST camping trip as a family!

Our new pop-up trailer!
Okay so we have NEVER taken the kids camping!  We are losers!  Anyway--so we got this pop-up and before the soccer season starts and takes all our Saturdays we thought we would go camping!  Well--we showed up at Pine Grove Campsite and it was FULL!  Well, I didn't want to back up since I was towing the trailer so I thought I would just drive through and look for another campground.  But the campground lady flagged me down and said she had a spot open up!  Well--by the time I went around to it, it was taken!  Then I saw the guy in the next spot looking like he was packing up so I asked him!  He was so we waited around for him and then pulled into the spot! 

It was so nice!  It was paved which was great so we brought the bikes!  It had a built in fire pit, a picnic table and a small stand up grill.  We only paid for one day since we weren't sure if we would like it but we loved it!  So we stayed a 2nd night after going into town to get more food!  We made chili one night and hamburgers with fruit salad the next and made smores BOTH nights!! YUM!  Kerby got up early and made a fabulous dutch oven breakfast!

The kids loved making different fire set-ups!
Even Payton made her own fire pit set-up!  ;)
