it's been a long time...

We've been so busy with soccer every evening and swimming lessons during the day for 4 weeks. It's been a tiring month. We've begun camping again for the year, and I hafta tell you, after nine trips out last year, I wasn't totally looking forward to it this year. But after the first weekend, even though it rained the whole time, I'm glad we went, and am looking forward to going out some more!! I really do like it, and one thing I like about it is cooking while camping! It's a challenge for me. I am not into the hamburger and hotdogs of camping, what I cook at home, I try to cook while camping. Like nachos, baked spaghetti (we have no oven in the trailer), taco salad, and sometime in the future, I plan on trying to make pizza!! We do have hamburgers, but Ultimate Hamburgers instead, with tomato, lettuce, pickles, mayo, yum!! The real challenge for me though, is fitting all our food into the tiny fridge in our tent trailer. I hope I won't have to worry about that next year!! We'll see!

One thing we did this past weekend while camping was play Spoons for the first time with the kids!! I've never played it before, and either have they, but it was soooo fun, I love it! Our new favorite camping game!

I have had different posts in mind, but rarely get them down on here. I have pictures, but haven't downloaded them from my camera. Soon I hope!! Just wanted to give you all a quick update on stuff!

No stove in the trailer? I'm very impressed with your creativity then :)

SPOONS was a fun game we played at youth group - I almost forget what it's all about but do remember bending a lot of spoons over the years! I actually found a fun little set in a tin & planned on putting it in the trailer - the spoons are just plastic though, so probably won't last long! Dutch Blitz has been resurrected at our house too :)

We got rain last weekend too but it was good to have a 'first' trial run - especially t figure out Cole's sleeping arrangements! PLAYPEN!!!!! He is so not ready for his bottom bunk - what a nightmare that was!
