Binghampton Ward Campout











It rained like cats and dogs when we went camping with our ward. But we still had a lot of fun!  We brought up our own dinner (hotdogs, pasta salad, watermelon) and cooked and ate it in the lodge (with a campfire burning inside!).  The kids ran around like wild geese, playing games, eating s'mores and then at about 9:00 we went to our tent.  It took the kids 3 stories (memorized) to settle down and they fell asleep around 9:30.  Ryan did too!  I went back out (it had stopped raining) and sat by the campfire with some ward members.  I had a great time getting to know people and getting warm by a fire.  Maddie slept in her carset surround by blankets and slept better than she does at home!  She only woke up once to be fed and slept in until we took the tent down.  Breakfast was provided by the ward (pancakes, eggs, sausage, OJ).  We walked around the Beautiful Zion Campground for a bit, packed up and returned home.  It was simple and loads of fun!  We are so glad that we went---even with a baby in tow.
