Also, Rebecca bought a hammock right before the trip and slept outside several nights. I really enjoyed sleeping and reading in the hammock, too. We'll definitely take it with us from now on.
Campfire treats this year included two new additions - roasted Starburst (much better than you think), and these dough boys. Caleb made the wooden dough boy sticks for us before we left. We cooked crescent roll dough around them and filled them with chocolate, marshmallow, heath bits, etc. Delicious!
This year we were also able to coax Jingle onto a tube. She really does not like the water, but she loves being in the boat with us.
I am conscious every time we take a trip now that my kids are growing up and this might be the last time we are all camping together like this. Make memories while you can!
The trip was so much fun that the boys decided to commemorate it with tattoos:
Well, the tattoos were temporary, but the pictures last forever!
And, of course, we ended the trip with a flat tire on the interstate because that's the way we roll.
