Camping with Dad

Luke and I went on a camping trip at the beginning of June with friends from church.  It was our second annual trip. It is a father/children only trip.  No moms allowed.  We camped in the northern Kettle Moraine in a large group site.  The kids had plenty of area to run, ride bikes, ride big wheels, and play.

We had great weather the first night and most of the next day.

Luke couldn't wait to roast marshmellows.  None of the other kids could either.

If the kids could only eat this way at home.....

Luke staying up way past his normal bedtime and looking tired.

The next morning we had time for fishing and swimming.

.....followed by a hike to a lookout tower. We tried our best to get some of the kids in a posed picture.

Then the rain started so we had to all crowd under two canopy tents.  We had great food:  hot dogs, brats, pasta salad, baked beans, fruit salad, chips, and plenty of cookies.

Luke didn't care it was raining.  He still wanted to sit by the fire.

Finally it started to rain very hard.  We were only going to stay one night, so fortunately the tent was all packed up.  Luke talked all week how much fun he had camping.  I had a great time with my son and will remember how much fun he had in our new tent and being with the other kids.
