Camping Trip

The kids woke got up about 6am and couldn't stop talking about going camping. They overpacked 3 days worth of clothes on Wednesday afternoon. Daddy prepared them breakfast and lunch. Daddy called the reservation hotline to get a campsite. The LHC required a min of 3 nights stay. That's too much camping for daddy but the kids were like... YEAH! Daddy decided on another place but would required two nights stay for reservations unless we walked in. We left at 1pm after making a few stops. We arrived at the LP state park around 4pm. We didn't know Memorial day weekend started on Thursday. We didn't have a campsite reserved but the Lord had reserved the last spot for us. Praise the Lord.










J and Prime wanted to go swimming but the water was freezing so they just played along the beach for a long time. The weather was nice, the sky was cleared, the sun was hot, and the water was calm. It was beautiful.

We grilled sausages, hot dogs, and ham for dinner. J and Prime roasted marshmallows and made their perfect S'mores.










Afterward, we went back to the beach and the kids played some more. We had to take the trail through the forest to get to the beach. The trail was at least 5 minutes walk. We decided to stay for stargazing because sky was clear. We had a surprise coming. At about 9:30, it was starting to get really dark. The kids had been playing with the flashlights for a while. The forest looked black; the trail was pitch black. Good thing we had two flashlights. J looked at the trail with her flashlight and was getting concerned. At 10pm the stars were really popping out. All of a sudden, we heard this gush for wind coming out of the forest. It caught us by surprise. Then we felt the wind and sand. It was a little sandstorm. We had to pick up and run toward the forest, and headed back to the tent.










Prime and J didn't fall asleep until at least midnight because the excitement--again!
