Camping...In a Tent!

Our ward (church) had a family campout last night. We camped out in a tent and survived!!! There was only one thing I would have done differently...brought more blankets!!! It was quite cold last night! Jonah cried out a few times during the night (I am assuming because he was cold) and Addison cried too. We had her bundled up with us and I think she was the warmest of all! Needless to say, between the crying, the cold, and no electricity for Lawrence's breathing machine we had a very restless night. We were exhausted today when we got home...I think we are still needing some extra zzzzz's.  However, the boys cannot wait to go back and do it again. Lawrence and I have talked about investing in some camping gear, we shall see what the future holds for the Bayou Bunch and the great outdoors!

We had to leave the campout early this morning because Peyton had to go pick an instrument to play in the band next year. He will be going to middle school next school year and has chosen band as his elective. He tried out 4 instruments...the trumpet, the trombone, percussion, and the saxophone. The instrument he tested best on and has chosen is the.......................................................................................................................

Jonah looks so excited! Addison is still not sure about this camping in a tent thing!

We had a really nice time and cannot wait to go again, once it's warmer!!!
