Fall Camping - Last time this year????

We went camping this past weekend. We camped with Brian, Doni, Dan and Dana, and families. The weather was a little cool and rainy, we still had a great time. We stayed Friday night and Saturday night. The campground was not very busy - so we had our choice of spots. We picked right next to the playground. There was also a sand volleyball area right next to the playground. Since it was too cold to swim, the kids enjoyed digging in the sand here. This was ideal because the kids could play until their hearts were content and the adults could sit by the campfire (which we started on Friday evening, and didn't go out until Sunday afternoon, except for a brief period on Sat afternoon when it was raining, but it started back up on its own after the wind blew a little).

Friday evening, we made pizzas with the pie irons. They were so yummy. Doni brought zucchini and sliced it and put it on the grill. Cooked it 4 minutes on each side and then put some pizza sauce and cheese on top. They were very yummy. Even those that don't care for zucchini tried this and most liked it. Saturday morning, Brian cooked french toast and bacon for breakfast. He is a great cook and since breakfast is probably my favorite meal, it is a special treat. Camping is about the only time that we actually have cooked breakfasts. Usually it is a granola bar, cereal, muffins, etc. Saturday after breakfast was all cleaned up, Broc got his remote control car (for big boys) out and everyone had fun with that (until the axle broke).









Saturday evening, it was pretty chilly. We had layers under our winter coats to keep warm. It did seem to warm up after the wind died down. We made "dough boys" on the camp fire. You take a refrigerator biscuit and stretch it out, and wrap it around a roasting stick. You cook it by the fire, and then dip it in butter and then roll it in cinnamon and sugar. They are the best!









Sunday was a beautiful day. We went to church, and then came back to the campground for lunch and a little more play time.
