Family Camping Trip

October 6th was my 29th, oops! I mean 39th birthday. I had told Dave that I wanted to go camping for my birthday. I had never been camping before. We went to West Lake. So Dave cooked over the campfire. I opened presents. I got a new fishing pole and the kids painted a wall plague for me from Painted Penguin. We went fishing. I basically fed the fish I didn't set my line so every nibble a felt was a smorgasbord for the fish. We saw lots of fish jumping in the lake and so I am sure we feed them well. They love the wax worms we bought (basically very obese maggots, YUCK!). The biggest catch of the trip was Dave's, he hooked Cheyenne's binky. Yeah!! Daddy!! After fishing we went back to the campsite and roasted marshmallows and ate smore's. Sunday morning Dave cooked scrambled eggs and sausage over the campfire. I did a devotional about being content with the things you have and that God's grace is sufficient for all our needs. We then took small sticks and said what we were thankful for and threw the stick in the campfire. Held hands around the campfire and prayed. We played a little bit of disc golf, packed up and came home. The kids loved camping. They did real well in the tent and slept good. When we got home we all crashed and slept the rest of the afternoon. We are definitely hooked on camping. It was hot but we had a great time. It basically rain leaves on our campsite all day and night.
