OK, so maybe we are crazy, but yes, we did camp last night. We love to camp. Of course, we love it better when there is beautiful weather. But no matter the weather, the kids have so much fun exploring and imagining out there in the woods. Lord knows they spend way too much time in front of the t.v. and games these days. I remember spending hours upon hours back in the woods behind my house growing up, letting my imagination run wild (and believe me, I've got quite an imagination!). So it's always so nice to watch them use what they see and find to create secret hideouts and such.
We knew it was going to be cold, at least I will say, Jeff and I knew it was going to be cold. I told the kids to pack themselves and warned them over and over that it was going to get very cold in the night. I guess when it is close to 85 outside, it's hard for a kid to believe that it is really going to get THAT cold. My son went to bed in his usual just underwear even though I warned him.
We have been getting these really cool campsites that have a small rudimentary cabin on them (pictures later). It is basically the shelter that you usually find at the campsite, but it has been enclosed. Inside are two bunkbeds. We put up a few tarps to keep the wind from blowing in and Jeff and I set up our tent outside. We have now learned that our tent was much warmer than the cabin. Tonight we will set up tents for the kids too and just use the cabin as our livingroom.
We came home this morning to get warmed up (and get proper clothing!). I made a nice big breakfast and we are about to head back. I am making chili today for tonight's dinner. I love to cook while we are camping, course, I love to cook anytime:). It's going to be colder tonight, but we've camped in worse. Another adventure awaits!
