Camping at Mt. Madonna

We had a great time camping with friends at Mt. Madonna and had a beautiful camping spot. It was a short trip and both fun and exhausting at the same time. The Hales came up Friday night for dinner, dessert, and songs and skits around the campfire. The Sandersons and Ahlgrens camped over night with us. Everyone pitched in for different meals and snacks.

We had a good time cooking our hot dogs over the fire and cleaning them off when they go too close.




Smores always hits the spot (and then stick all over it). The dutch oven cobbler and ice cream were terrific, but we didn't get any pictures - we were too busy eating it.

Glen taught the older kids a submarine skit that his family

would do when they went camping and had a skit night.

It was an interesting night due to the babies - the screaming seemed to rotate between our three tents throughout the night. It sprinkled on us in the middle of the night, but we think everyone managed to stay dry.

Since we survived the night, we celebrated by having breakfast. For the first time since we got it over a year ago, we broke out the camp stove to help make breakfast. Heating water on it for oat meal and hot chocolate was as complicated as it got this trip. We'll look forward to burning pancakes on another trip.
