Our First Family Camping Trip

Trent has been asking to go camping for awhile, so I got with my parents and planned a summer camping trip. I know, are we crazy? It is so hot! Well, even with the heat, we had a great time.

We went to Lake Enid in Oakland, Mississippi. We left on Thursday morning and got down there at lunch time. My parents got there the day before and set up the campsite.


Once we arrived, we set up the Pack N Play, and we let Jack have fun playing in the shade.


Matt set up the bean bag toss game. He and Trent got some practice in...

While the kids napped on the Thursday afternoon, we played cards and games with my parents. Then when we started preparing for dinner, look who showed up...


The deer were right by our campsite.


It's a little dark, but you can still see the deer in the background.

That night Matt and Trent tried to sleep in the tent, but Trent kept saying he was scared and hungry. After about 30 minutes, they gave up and came inside the RV. Matt was pretty relieved because he said that it was really hot.

The next morning, Nanny made a yummy breakfast - bacon, eggs, and cheese biscuits.


Trent loved the cheese biscuits!


Jack liked the biscuits too. I love his expression in this picture.

After breakfast we decided to try our luck at fishing. While we were baiting our hooks, I told Matt that I saw fish in the water. He didn't really believe me. BUT, his first cast, he caught a fish.


Here is Matt with his fish...

After Matt caught his fish, I headed up to the campsite to get some sunscreen and water. While I was gone, Trent caught his first fish.


The proud fisherman.

We had a full day of playing bean bag toss, playing canasta, playing minature golf with Trent, and more...


Trent loved playing minature golf, but he wanted to know where the go-karts were...


Jack went skinny dipping in his pool. We forgot his swimmers, but it was too hot to not let him swim.


We were hanging out in the RV when the deer showed up on Friday night.


Trent fed them some corn, and they got really close.

That night we made s'mores. They were delicious. We think that we know where they got their name because we wanted some more = s'more...


Papaw found this awesome stick to roast the marshmallows on. He did 6 at a time.


Jack was really interested in what we were eating.

We had a great camping trip, and now we are looking forward to go sometime when it is cooler outside.
