tents, sand pits, and crickets

We went tent camping all weekend the kids had a great time playing in the sand, riding the 4 wheeler, and sleeping in a tent. Hot dogs and dad's grilled chicken washed down with juice boxes were the menue highlights.Cam and trent got to shoot skeet. Aaron made me a red neck tent canopy for shade out of old tent poles and a tarp. it was a fun weekend. We went smimming at the gravel pits and got caughtt in the rain.

Primative Rustic Camping

We had a great weekend camping with the four little-ones and our friends with their two little-ones. Four wheeling, swimming, nature walks, campfires and sandbox the size of about a half-acre. Tents and no electronics! No electricity or running water for that matter. What a good experience we plan on many such trips over this summer since our funds a very limited. It doesn't have to cost money to be fun and educational.

Here is Pitty-pat sitting of the bank of the gravel pits with a bunch of dollar store sand toys, Em is in the water wings, Aaron and his friend Gary are in the tubes in the far back of the photo with Cam and Erica on the inflatable lounges. Missing from this pic is the little-man and his buddy the little-guy and Tippy-toe.The gravel pits don't cost money to get into and have picnic tables.
