Come Along on Our Camping Trip
The camping trip was a success and the kids were all returned safely to their parents, although much dirtier than when they arrived! (for sure!) 🙂
I had a lot of fun with the food this time. I was trying to think of meals that kids would enjoy but that would be different than the normal fare you have when camping.
I came up with:
- Pita pizzas on the grill
- Eggs in the Dutch Oven with orange rolls cooked in orange rinds
- Nachos
- For dessert we had marshmallows (of course!) and banana boats
Listening intently to a great mountain man story about Hugh Glass.
A rattlesnake was spotted not by me but by Audrey and another little girl who were walking back to our house from the camping area. As they were walking they heard a rattle and looked over and saw a diamond back rattlesnake all coiled ready to strike and they were only about 1 1/2′ away. They of course ran away. So thankful the Lord watched over them.
I hope we’re making great memories for the kids as well as giving them an appreciation of the outdoor life – learning how to build campfires, finding their way around in the woods and just having a good time.

Great job! It must feel rewarding to have pulled off a nice, well-put-together event. 🙂
You all are far more brave than I, though…if I knew there might be snakes in the bushes, NO WAY would I be hiking through them of my own free will. lol:)
See you on Thursday!

Neat! How fun for them. I want to try the orange rolls next time I get to camp. That looked delicious!!!

Other than the fact, that they’re not very healthy for you, they are great. I’m wondering how you could transport your own uncooked cinnamon rolls for a healthier version. Ideas?
