Camp-out at the Wilsons!

Lucas, Evangeline, Joshua and Emily in the barn...

Sweet Elizabeth with her catch....
On second thought, maybe not so sweet!

The troops hiking through the fields...

The gang (Minus me)!
Joshua doing the dead man's float....
Burrr! The water's cold!

Outside our tents in the back yard....
Camp-out provisions....
One tough dude! ( Joshua agreed to take our mattress to our tent for us - it was quite the load!) Eating popcorn and smores around the campfire.......


Evangeline, Josh and Lucas operating the water balloon launcher! (Can you guess what the target was?)
Ready.......aim.....pull back..........get those cows!
Joshua
That balloon had quite the ride, let me tell you!




This past Wednesday we went to the Wilson's house for a camp-out. To say we had a blast would be an understatement! From the minute we got there to the minute we left, it was non-stop action. Being city gals, the barn was a novelty to us - we spent hours there playing with the animals (brave Elizabeth actually crawled - or I should say fell - into the pig pen and held a pig!), and even played "spies" there at the barn after midnight!

Looks like a lot of fun!

I got tickled at the picture of the mattress, you "soft" city girls couldn't take sleeping on a sleeping bag in a tent?? "-)

I just have one question - did the cows throw any water balloons back?
