We went on an overnight camping trip with some friends on Friday. We had hobo dinners, told plenty of embarassing stories, played card games, and had fun watching our kids fall in the mud. The weather was perfect for camping and we lucked out because there weren't many mosquitos. All in all, we had a great time (even though we forgot the tarp and pillows).
Addie loved wandering around with the other kids, picking up sticks and leaves, and getting very cold and very dirty. We are indebted to the Carlsens for lending us their camping gear. What do we want for Christmas? Our own camping supplies! It will be fun to go again!
Oh yeah, and we tried something new this camping trip. I read online that you could cut oranges in half, eat out the inside, and cook an egg in the orange peel on the fire. Well, I didn't have any oranges so we tried it with grapefruit. They were...
DISGUSTING!

What's wrong with Addie's face? I mean...why is it purple? Was she just super cold? I hope her lips don't fall off ;) I'll look into getting you camping gear from Christmas...I think we could afford some plastic silverwear and maybe some paper plates. I'll get right on that.
We had so much fun! I was wondering how those eggs turned out though after we left.... sounds like we didn't miss much.
I've never heard of cooking eggs in a orange/grapefruit, but I have cooked a muffin in the rind of an orange. It took forever, but it was a neat idea! Glad you had fun. Hope the air mattress helped make up for the missing pillows!
Maybe they were so bad because grapefruit are bitter and oranges are sweet? That sounds interesting, though. I guess if you were starving and all you had were eggs and a citrus fruit it would be the way to go!
And that looks really fun! Will and I thought about going camping two weekends ago but we also lack camping gear.
