A camp'n we will go

We had a heat wave come through for Spring Break.  So we decided to go camping with the Miskins.  Usually when we go camping we pack about half our house (or so Jared claims- he gets so frustrated with me :). But the Miskins are big packers to. We packed our huge van to the brim.  Why?  I don't know.  A sleeping bag for each person.  A backpack with clothes for each person.  A camping chair for each person.  We also brought bikes for everyone and our spiffy new bike trailer.  Tent, cooking equipment, food. It just adds up- really fast.  It took us a couple hours to load up everything.  And a couple hours to make camp once we got there.  All in all, a lot of work.  But fun work.  The kids had SO much fun.  And food cooked over a camp fire is SO DELICIOUS!  We did tons of bike riding.  It was chilly at night and I fretted over Ethan being too cold.  In our major over packing, Jared had brought along a space heater- which turned out to be a blessing.  We went to a nearby state park- Prophet's Town.  They have tons of trails to ride on there.  And it was almost empty. And they have several huge playgrounds too.  Altogether the perfect place for us. We played and rode bikes and cooked our meals together.  Repeat.  Super Duper Fun.
