Our first camping trip.......well almost

"Check the weather for the weekend." Matt said. I swear I did, and it was clear..... we would figure out later that was very wrong.

After Summerfest we headed out to Seminoe State park to hang with some friends at the lake, and then campout afterwards. 

 Brayden is quite the fisherman. The first thing he always asks and wants to do is go fishing.

That little blue dot is Matthew Kayaking. I bought this little kids kayak for them to share. Matthew Kayaked all over the place. Brayden stayed about 2 feet from shore, and quickly jumped out if he thought he was getting any deeper. 

We played in the water for awhile, then headed to put up the tent. 

The wind picked up and this was not an easy task.

 Grilled some dinner, then the sky changed.....

So we jumped into the tent real quick, thinking we would sit out the rain in there....

But the tent started leaking... so we grabbed our blankets and pillows and jumped into the van. We drove back to town to get a tarp, then returned back to the tent. When we returned there was about an inch of water across the bottom of the tent :(. Boys were all asleep in the van. (town is about 45mins away and it was about 930 pm). So we drove back again to sleep in our beds. 

We returned in the morning to pack up the tent and hang out for the morning. 

I made these cinnamon rolls in orange peels, that I found on pinterest. They were good, but took like 2 hours to cook, literally. I probably did something wrong. 

Matthew caught a fish while kayaking, and it drug him all around the water. 

So while we didn't get to actually "camp" it was still a pretty fun weekend. We will reattempt with a new tent.
