Family Camping Trip ~ July 2019

Pictures taken July 5-6 ~
We went on our first tent camping trip as a family! Brady and Jeff have camped a lot in a tent with Boy Scouts, and we used to have a small camper when Kaitlyn and Brady were little.

Our tent pole broke when we were setting up the tent.  :(  The boys went to the hardware store and were able to repair it!

Video ~ Elli trying to rub two sticks together to start a fire.  :D

Brady brought his guitar.  :)

We took a bike ride and walked down to a stream.

After having it a few years ago on another camping trip, the kids asked for hobo dinner for supper!  

Video ~ roasting marshmallows.

We had blueberry dump cake for breakfast.
