the great outdoors

This past weekend we took the boys on their first camping adventure to Lake Rudolph down in southern Indiana.  We got in early Saturday afternoon and I took the kids to the little carnival they were having while BC set up our campsite.  The boys were excited to get back and see the tent up along with their "camping bags" inside:)  The first night we had to put Declan back in his sleeping bag and moving Conall so he wasn't stuck to my side, the second night Declan got hot and we still had to move Conall around (he only woke up 2 each night!).  I'm not going to lie, it was so awesome to sleep in our bed last night, but those two nights in the tent with the boys, so wonderful:) 

 That afternoon the campground celebrated Halloween, which meant we got to go trick or treating!  Almost all of the campers decorated for Halloween and the boys loved seeing all of the spooky campsites!  I'm a little shocked by how many people picked out suckers for Conall, "here's one he can have" they would say, really?  Suckers?  They had a blast walking around with their buckets full of treats and it was good practice for Halloween night too!

 The first night we made mac n cheese and roasted hot dogs for dinner:)


 This is how Declan fell asleep each  night...so awesome!  Conall went right to bed the first night, but we had to drive him around the second night:)

 We found something new the boys will eat...pop tarts!  Conall loved them!

 We made pancakes for breakfast each morning:)

 Most everyone left early Sunday morning, so we were able to just hang out and enjoy the awesome weather!  And the dirt, oh my gosh were the boo's dirty!

 We even went fishing!  BC and Declan caught 3 fish!  After touching the first fish Declan said it was "pokey", Conall touched it too:)  It was so fun to see the guys fish together and I was able to get some awesome video too.

 Here's the big one!  Well, really this was the smallest of the three:)

 Our boys do not like s'mores!  Crazy!  Declan liked to marshmallows off the stick, not roasted and Conall decided I should eat it instead!
