Campin' Out

Well, this last week we were in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The church parked us at Goose Island RV Park and we had so much fun! It is located on an inlet of the Mississippi so we had a gorgeous view out our window all week.


A guy in the church let the boys use his tent. Thursday night, the boys camped out all night. They were livin' the good life here...Oreos, Pringles, Teddy Grahams, hot dogs, IBC Root Beer...oh my! What are campouts for anyway?! I think Mike was hoping the boys would get cold and want to go in, but nope! they lasted the whole night!


Nighty-night, boys!


Daddy, the boys, and Maggie...she didn't last very long. She wanted her cozy bed. So much for boys campin' out with their dog!


Now...here you see my idea of camping out...while the boys were sleeping outside on the hard, cold ground, the girls and I (and Maggie) stayed inside in our warm, cozy beds. People do ask us if we camp out...well, that depends on your idea of "camping out!"

We had fun roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Michala kept saying, "This is the first time that just OUR little family has had a fire and roasted hot dogs!" Normally we are with our cousins, etc...but THIS time was so different for her!



The boys went out on the water one day with Daddy.


Enjoying the great outdoors! I am reminded so often of the wonderful opportunities God gives us to enjoy each other and His creation. We have so much to be thankful for.
