Falls Camp Ground

We left early Thursday to go camping at Falls camp ground. We had a little rain while we were setting up, but it was really quite pleasant. We fished, and caught nothing. We also played games and went for walks. I helped McKayla roast a marshmallow and Ariana had fun exploring. We saw an eagle and a chipmunk. We came home yesterday and unpacked most of our stuff. We learned a few lessons. 1. Always take junk food to roast over the fire. Chad and I are not big marshmallow fans, so we didn't really roast much. Although, if you take an apple and roast it, it is really good. We needed some brown sugar and cinnamon for it and it would have been wonderful. 2. Our whole family can no longer fit into the double sleeping bag. McKayla needs her own space. 3. Take a broom, it comes in handy. 4. Go often! We haven't been camping as much as we should the last few years and this little trip we a great reminder of how much we love it.

Looks like you got some good pictures. Glad it didn't rain more than that.

Love the pictures, makes me want to go camping! If you want a campfire/junk food recommendation, I recommend starbursts. I just like them because they get soft and chewy and yum-yummy. (whatever yum-yummy is supposed to mean....)

It looks really fun. McKayla looks so grown up, it's hard to imagine another year's growth before we see them. Thanks for sharing.
