We went on the first camping trip we have ever been on with our five kids. The last time we went camping Kiah was 9 months old. So needless to say, it's been awhile. We went to Raccoon Creek a camp ground about an hour away. We had a blast with the Grant Family and will probably even attempt it again.
Setting up camp.
Yes, crazy to imagine - but we had 8 kids camping (ages 6 and under).
STICK collecting -- Owen definitely won!
YUMMY, tin foil dinners.
Time for Smores. Sure brings me back! I just LOVE them!
... and of course the chubby HUBBY contest (sorry Lance Joseph won with 3 gigantic marshmallows).
And what's camping without a 5:30 wake up call! This was OUR tent (yes we had 2 tents, 1 for the kids and 1 for us - NICE!) at about 5:45am.
One of the kids favorite things was the wildlife - 10 white caterpillars, 2 green ones, 1 green inch worm, and 2 raccoons (which visited at night to finish off the peach cobbler we left out for them).
Never ending FUN!
Then off to the water!
The bruise on Talee's cheek was the result of us putting her in the car to keep her from escaping camp (don't worry it was only while we were cleaning up, and the windows we cracked), and her sweet sister trying to help her out - while she was leaning on the door she opened. OOPS!
"Talee LOOK SAND!"

Love the family picture of you all!
It's been so long since I have seen you, sometimes I still can't quite believe you have five kids. Hope you are doing well.
How fun! Your kids are getting so big! I miss you all so much! :)
