Camping Trip

The camping trip was awesome!! We were only there for two nights, but it was sooo much fun! Right after we got there, a big thunderstorm hit the lake (we were expecting it) so we sat under a big shelter until it was over. We didn't realize until we left the shelter that it had a metal roof. Oops! But God kept us safe! Sam and Olivia had their first real experience with camp bathrooms. I agree, it was gross (there were bugs everywhere, not to mention no ceiling!) but at least we had running water. We went hiking a few times, pulled tons of ticks off ourselves, played at a beach-type area, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores, sang songs around the campfire, and gazed at the innumerable stars (they were incredible).
Here are a few pictures:
