Camping Trip

This past weekend, we went on a family retreat with our church. Well, it was supposted to be a family retreat with our church, but only 3 other families went and the other young families all had conflicts with the date. So, we 3 young families and a couple with grown kids went on this great weekend in the Witchita Mountians, just outside of Lawton, Oklahoma. It was a beautiful weekend, cold, but beautiful.
Here are all the kids, except for Parker. He was asleep in the backpack on Aaron's back. Even Daisy made the family trip and all the kids took turns with her on the leash (it was a state park with a leash rule.) Actually, it is a National Wildlife Refuge, so there were bison (Go Harding!), Elk and deer all over the place. The kids really liked seeing the bison from the car.

I put this picture in so that you can see our new tent in the background behind Grace. It is called "The American House Tent" and beside our tent was our friend's tent that the 4 of them slept in for two nights. Yes, ours is way too big!! Lots of fun was had and the kids were WAY dirty when we got home Sunday night! I can't wait for the next trip!! Posted by Picasa

looks like you had a great time! I really like that "American House Tent" - Gracie picked a good name. Tim looked at Parker and asked if that baby was Parker all dressed in orange....I wanted to say, "DUH, don't you remember who his daddy is?" He says what he meant to say was that he couldn't believe an Arkansas girl would dress her baby all in orange. Now he wants to know which UT?
