Shamrock Farms Ward Campout - October 2009

Our ward does a camp out every year during fall break. Last year I didn't want to go because Scott works EVERY Friday night and I was too wimpy to go without him. I heard so many people say they had so much fun that this year I decided to "man up" and take the kids myself!

Scott came home from work on Friday morning and helped us get packed up before he went to bed. We left around noon but with stops for lunch, groceries, gas and the potty we actually left town around 2:00pm. We got there around 4:00pm and boy! Was it ever nice to put the tent up during sunlight hours!

When we drove up to the "camp site" which was actually a gravel parking lot, we found Shane Kobialka, alone, in the middle of said parking lot reading.

We parked next to those Kobialka's and set up our tent

We bought this tent the day before and didn't know if it would fit us all.

It did! PLUS had a "closet" for our suitcase!

Mayzie and Rylee are great friends

More people arrive and set up around us

Mitch had great fun with his green laser
