We did it!

So, we have always wanted to try camping as a family by ourselves, but never got around to it. I think maybe because we didn't know how it would go! This past weekend though, we took the plunge and headed to Lake Elmo Park reserve for two nights, and we survived! The weather was really really crazy though. It rained while we sent up the tent, and then it would stop raining, and then start raining. We all slept OK the first night though. Then Saturday the weather was more crazy! It would pour rain, and then get really hot, and then pour, and then get really hot. Then that night it was so windy!! I was surprised that our tent held up to it! Camping is for sure a lot of work, but I think the girls had a really good time, so that was worth it. One cool thing was at night there were so many fire flies! They just lit up the bushes.
