Kinda Camping

Some would say we didn't really camp. We attempted to camp. We kinda camped. We were not as prepared as we should of could of been. Next time we will really camp. We went up to Paradise with Dan, Jill and Lacie. We set up the tent, but we only lasted one night and Sage and I only lasted until 2:30 in the morning before we moved into the house. It was too cold and the ground was too hard. I whispered to Taylor right before going in that I hated camping and that camping stinks. We couldn't stop giggling. Lacie had slept inside with her Papi and woke up looking for her mommy, so Jill and Dan came in the house at 5:30 in the morning leaving Taylor out in the tent alone. He's a survivor. We all slept in the house the next night. We did do some camping activities though. We took the boat out to Porcupine Dam and went to a park where Dan and Tony fished and we sat back and relaxed. Dan made us the most delicious apricot glazed pork chops on the barbecue and we also barbecued burgers. We made smores and made a tin foil dessert that had bananas, chocolate chips and marshmallows. They were tasty. We also got to meet the chickens. Each grandkid got to name one. Sage named her chicken Miss Marvelous. Also, Taylor's dad got all the guys an AR-15, which they went and shot. Taylor loves it. I can't wait until next time when I get a chance to shoot it. It was a good time spending time with family, relaxing and being outdoors. It was fun kinda camping, but we will really camp sometime this summer!
