We finally did it! We went camping! Our church had a baptism-picnic-camp-out over the weekend and after a lot of iffy-ness on our part we finally decided to go. What sealed the deal was that Kevin, one of Dolan's friends, said he was going so immediately Dolan wanted to go. We had an absolutely great time. The only exception was sleeping on the ground. We are now talking of getting an air mattress. Hannah slept wonderfully despite the wet conditions. There was a lovely breeze when we settled down for the night so we left the windows and doors open. At some point it started to rain at night and Hannah got a little wet. She slept right through it! Hannah also learned exactly what "HOT" means. She stayed away from the fire but kept calling it "pretty!". The Lantern must have been even more pretty because she just had to touch it! Dolan kept telling her "NO" and even slapped her hand but it did not deter her. She had to find out the hard way! The rest of the night she kept showing me her finger and saying, "Hot. Owie." She enjoyed playing with all the older girls. Jasmyn had a blast swimming in the lake! She slept well but kept talking in her sleep. She sat straight up and said, "STOP! Stop hurting me! That hurts!" And then started hitting her sleeping mat. That was only one of her sleep outbursts. All in all fun was had by all!
Our tent! Dolan ended working late Friday so me and the girls went up early. We set up the tent with the help of a friend! Thank you Ed!!!

Hannah and her new best friend Halsey. Hannah chose Halsey Just out of the blue Saturday morning to be her new BFF! Hannah would not leave her alone! Halsey was such a great sport.
The end of swimming and the end of our trip. We had a blast and will definitely do it again soon!

Looks like you had a great time...glad the camping part went good for you!
You're brave :-) I'm glad it went well. I absolutely cannot sleep on the ground AT ALL so I understand. At least get a pad, if not an air mattress!
