Camping With Pack 233


Our first weekend in our camper with the whole family. Yes, even Carmine. I don't think I will ever sleep in a tent again. Camper camping is like cheating, I know. But if loving campers is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Friday night we did a little dutch oven cooking. Each of us made a personal size pizza. They were delicious. Here is a picture of mine. Cheese, pepperoni, olives and pineapple.

The pack had a fishing derby so Dominic and Ethan took their first real shot at fishing. Actually casting their lines and baiting their hooks. Ethan had a lot more patience with the whole experience, but Dom seemed to genuinely enjoy it too. This was also a new location for the pack. It was a lot more scenic, but the bathrooms were not so great. Everyone got to camp right on the lake. It was so cool. Lots of wildlife. Frogs, ducks, snakes and tons of bugs (this is Texas). One sibling found a snake skin of what she was sure was a water moccasin. It sent the kids into a tizzy. They also had a playground located right in the middle of everything. Ethan spent most of his time there and has an awesome bruise on his knee to prove it.





Brad has recently taken over one of the grub master roles so he was busy spending most of his time cooking for the next meal. It takes a long time to cook for 100+ people. This left me pushing Carmine around the campground in his stroller. It was overall a nice weekend for weather. A little muggy during the day but the night was gorgeous.

Wait! How did you do those pictures like that!?

Carl and I were just talking and we want to meet you and the Garriga's 1/2 way. Just let us know when!

Last but not least - HOW FUN!! They must have had a blast! And Carmine is so painfully cute!

What size do you choose when you upload them? I always pick "large" and "centered". And, black borders!? Mine don't have black borders! Hmmmm... Are you using the "old" or "new" editor?

I'm using old editor. I don't like the new one. I usually always do the "small" size. Maybe mine have borders because of the template I chose? They never used to have borders then one day I noticed them.

Thanks for the compliment. I feel like my blog is so blah!
