Camping Fun

So Friday started off completely hectic because we were offered the chance to go to a friends cabin for the weekend. So we had to pack, board the dogs and get to the grocery store in about an hour.. It made for an interesting afternoon. We finally left around 5 pm but everyone was excited at the prospect of just getting away for the weekend. We headed to Ricketts Glen state park with high hopes, the only problem was that we had no idea where we were going, only the general direction. So although it took us about three hours to make the 90 minute trip, we did finally make it. The cabins were amazing. And boy, don't the kids look like they were having a fabulous time! LOL..
The weekend was good and uneventful, the way a weekend away should be. It rained most of the weekend, but we did get some good hotdogs cooking time over the fire.. Made smores on Friday night and even got to swim in the lake for a little bit on Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening D had to leave to go to work on Sunday so my mom, brother and his dorky friend Ethan came up.. We took the kids fishing at the lake, which they enjoyed, until they realized that they would rather splash and play in the water then actually fish in it. The kids got nice and dirty and loved every minute of it.

Saturday night we stayed up most of the night playing poker, the kids just layed and watched DVD's.. We did at one point attempt to start a camp fire but everything was so wet that all we did was dry out the wood and smoke up the place. The cabins were amazing and modern, we even had our own bathroom, and a microwave. I don't know that I have ever camped quite like that before.
So below are just some random pics of our camping experience.

Everyone had a good time and it was great to finally get away for a little bit. Though we were glad to get back and the dogs were very happy to see us.. The kennel guy said that Tiller moped around the entire time he was there.. Poor Puppy!

So when we came home on Sunday my mom, brother, Ethan, Livi, Riley and hailey as well as me all drove home with all our camping stuff, in one mini-van.. This is pretty much how is looked.

I don't even think you can see the kids in there!
