Whatever and whomever...Last night, three of my favorite couples (also being my small group members) agreed to gather together at a house with a yard and set up tents for a camp-out.
With our 8 small children.
Yeah.
I think many of us were sceptical as to how successful this activity would turn out to be. There was some preliminary conversations which included colorful "mocking" about who was truly a camper and who was not.
By the time last night arrived, there seemed to be a bit of a challenge in the midst...
Game on.
Truthfully, we had a great time. (I know...I was shocked, too!) I love my girls in this group and feel completely at home when I'm with them. I made it to 2am before I was allowed to collapse upstairs on the floor (we only have a small tent so Matt and the boys took that). Until those wee hours of the morning, I was amused by the periodic dad that popped in the back door...small child in hand...heading for a warm bedroom.
Hilarious.
My stupid camera does terrible at night so I don't have any pics around the campfire but I'll include a few that I do have.
I'm not sure if we will do this again next year but having made it through the night and after a significant nap this afternoon, I have no regrets.
Just a few more great memories!

How can I see the hair if it is up?
The color looks good to me.
Oh, and while I'm not jealous of the camping - the activity with friends seems fun!
is this Anne's house? One of those aerial shots looked like someone should be throwing a rock ;)
