Our Rainy Campout

Aaron just completed Tri 5 at school and has a two week break. The first thing we did was pack our stuff and went camping at Fairfield State Park. Even though the weather was against us and it rained 90% of the time we had a blast. Emma said, "Mom I loved camp outing."

We went on a hike and there was this constant light rain, but it made everything so green and pretty. We love all the trees!

On our hike the girls found these huge leave that they carried over their heads like umbrellas from the rain.

It took Aaron a lot of work to get the fire going, but man those tin foil dinners were worth the wait!
Chloe is ready for smores.

We had to do our smores over our camping stove in our "rain shelter tent."
Despite the rain the girls didn't seem to notice the difference, they still got to be dirty all day and not get in trouble. They loved camping and want to go again.

Looks like so much fun! I love the pics, and I have such great memories of Aaron's competitive nature with having the best tin foil dinner, and also his love of making fire.
p.s. I'm requesting that cute Katie be in more pictures!
