The first weekend in November we decided to go on an overnight camping trip. Jake and I have a spot that we like, but haven't been since Porter was born. So, we introduced Porter to camping for the 1st time and we introduced Kody, Wendy, Parker & Paige to "our spot" for the 1st time. Like all camping trips (it seems), we intended for a much earlier start than what we actually got, not to mention Jake and I made a wrong turn to "our spot" which set us back a little in the time department. 
Porter got a little nap in during the drive
We all got right to work setting up (while we still had a little bit of daylight)...here's Jake with our tent
Wendy, setting up the "kitchen"
Parker and Paige hard at work
Porter got to work exploring
Wendy's grilling our burgers, with some assistance from Paige
Getting a lift from Dad
Kody working on his Peach-Cherry crumble/cobbler something or other
Porter found a stick
Roasting mallows for smores
Porter likes marshmallows
a lot
How's dessert looking, Kody?
Group shot - not my best self-timer work, but it will have to do
The worst part of the trip was not documented with pictures and that would be sleeping. Porter didn't get comfortable until I was totally uncomfortable. We decided that we probably wouldn't go back any time soon without the pack n play.
Parker was a total master with the fire...or not
Wendy and Kody hard at work on breakfast
White man build big fire - says Kody. Kody taught us all about how Indians made fires. Our campfire apparently didn't pass the Indian test.
Paige and Porter playing
I had to get myself in a pic
In case any of you were worried...have no fear - Parker did not have to give up texting during our 24 hour trip. There was plenty of cell reception in this area. You may all breathe a sigh of relief now!

Wendy spotted a hollowed out tree, so naturally we decided to get in it and take pictures

We learned that Porter loves breakfast meats

What a fun family camping trip! And yeah... we used a pack n' play religiously until the kids were all old enough to sleep without (age varied depending on the kid). I swear by them. And good for you for getting in some pictures! I'm rarely in pictures it seems. It's just easier to be behind the camera.
so fun! looks like you guys had a great time!
