The Great Outdoors

Alan and I got some camping gear for Christmas and we have been looking forward to using it. Lucky for us, our friends were excited to plan a camping trip too. We had to coax Mickenzie a bit but I think she is now hooked and will happily go on future camping trips...right Mickenzie? Apparently everyone had the same idea as us because it took some searching to find an open campsite. However, it was worth the wait because we found a perfect spot.

We made tinfoil dinners and I definitely need to make some adjustments next time. Who knew making tinfoil dinners could be so difficult? Apparently there are a bunch of tricks to avoid burnt veggies, which I will try next time.
What's a camping trip without smores?
The whole crew
The entertainment of the night was watching the guys shotgun mountain dews. This is seriously a stupid idea. Spencer has it mastered!


The best part of the trip was that the guys did all the cooking and cleaning up. We should go camping more often!
The next day some we headed to Lava with Cali and Spencer to go swimming....water slides and all. We had a blast and can't wait for the next trip!
