Church Campout

Last weekend was one that we look forward to all year, our church campout at Oconee State Park.  My kids absolutely love this event and start asking about going the minute it is mentioned at church.  We look forward to it too because it is really so much fun being together with so many of our friends and church family.  The kids have all their friends to play with.  They all ride bikes, play kick ball, go to the playground and just hang in their enos.  We all hike, eat, sit by the camp fire and just talk.  We left Saturday morning to go up and had an awesome lunch stop on the way at Hershberger's Bakery.  Once we got there we got set up and then just hung out.  That afternoon everyone went on a hike to Kings Falls.  After our hike we hung out around the camp site and later that evening we played bingo and enjoyed the fire.  The weather was perfect for camping.  It was cool but not so cold you couldn't stand it.  We slept good and stayed warm too.  Sunday morning was a little chilly coming out of our warm sleeping bags but we bundled up and headed to breakfast.  We have a short service around the fire then everyone packs up.  There's always a fun kick ball game between the dads and the kids.  It is quite entertaining for sure because these are some intense, competitive dads!  After lunch we headed back home to wash out the camp fire smell!  As always it was another fun camping trip and we are so thankful for everyone who gets this together!
