We went camping with our friends, The Millers, at Clinton Lake. It has been our two year tradition now, and we're hoping to keep it up. The kids enjoy sleeping in a tent and we enjoy the time to unplug and hang out together. All four kids get along great and all four parents get along great too! :) This year Hilary's cousin, Malory (15), came with us too. We were only able to stay 2.5 days but we still had fun! Although, our tent is so huge that it by the time we put it up, it would be nicer to stay for longer! :)

* it was a lot colder than anticipated! I mean it was July for crying out loud, but I was NOT prepared...so Hilary and I made an emergency run to the nearest Wal Mart (thank goodness for GPS) to stock up on some warmer clothes. The only, and I'm not exaggerating, the ONLY long sleeve clothing they had in the store were camo clothes...so we figured might as well outfit the guys too! We found 3/4 length sleeves for the girls and I only found long pants pjs for Leo, but I bought an extra blanket too. I will be more prepared next time with my clothing and bed options!
