Family Camp: Day One, Halloween Spook-tacular


What is it about vacations that makes me grossly underestimate how much time it will take to pack for seven people?

This years camping trip was no exception and Sam and I were up until the wee hours of the morning getting ready. The fact that we got on the road two hours later than planned was met with cheers from the kids. Why? Because that's early for us! I'm surprised we made it out in under three hours!

When we arrived, Ava served as tour guide up "Maddie Mountain", the super huge rock formation just across the creek from camp. At it's peak you can see for miles and the breeze is wonderful!

On the way back down we ran into my nephews who were just climbing up. We couldn't resist a second ascent.

We came across this cool rock formation that looked like a giant loaf of sliced bread (see the rock behind Ava).

Last years camp theme was "Knights & Dragons", this year we chose "Holidays". This fun tradition results in different games & activities for the kids for each day of camp.

Aunt Elizabeth was in charge of Halloween and she didn't disappoint with fun masks...

and a tent-to-tent trick-or-treat!


Happy Halloween!
