Over the river and through the corn fields to Bear Creek we go!

About 4:30 on a Friday night we decided to head up to Bear Creek

and have our very first family camp out! So I scrambled

really fast to get food ready and all the kids packed up ready to go

while Ty packed the car with all of our essential camping needs.

Bear Creek is the designated church property for all

the stakes here in Iowa for girls camp and ward camp outs.

Our fun little camp site up at Bear Creek!
Yes we all fit in this little thing! It was nice and cozy.
We all stayed very warm!

Mamma's got a crush on this little guy!

And this little guy did better than....

This little girl!

But i do have to say they both did great Trey was just

a better sleeper and trooper through it all!

The wood was to wet to get a good fire going so

we improvised and used the hibachi to make our smores!

There is a fun little river that runs through the camp grounds.

Addie had a blast playing in the river especially going

"commando" style! This girl loves to be outside!

"nudy rudy!" Trying to keep it "G" rated!

Getting ready for bed.

Mmmm...gotta love those kissable cheeks!

Can't get better than Daddy telling bedtime stories

late at night while listening to the crickets outside our

tent chirping along!
