First Camping Trip...

Every year the "Preister" clan goes camping...it seems there is always something going on, but we made it work this year! We had an ABSOLUTE blast!!! They camped at Timberlake, by Marquette, just south of Central City. Some headed up on Thursday night, some Friday, and we joined up Saturday and Sunday. Braxton did GREAT camping!!! Daddy was pretty excited, especially since he LOVES to camp! There was a lot to do there...swimming, fishing, canoes, paddle boats, the 'blob', horseback riding, paintballing...there isn't a spot for boats or jet skis, since we don't have either of them, it was okay with us:)
It was pretty neat to see how organized this trip was! Everyone worked so good together, preparing meals, cooking, even cleaning up!
Some stayed in campers, other in cabins...we were in Beaver Cabin that slept 10!!! Braxton did his usual, up at 2 and 5 and 8. We tried to make it as 'routine' as possible for him, Brad says I brought the entire house (kitchen sink included) but it worked!
We can't wait to join everyone for camping again next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
