Camping

In November we took a camping trip with a couple of our friends, The Rhodes and The Shaws. November was the perfect time for a Camping trip here in Florida, and we all had a great time. We had orginally planned to go camping in the keys, but because husbands (okay my husband) wasn't able to get off until Friday evening we decided it wasn't worth it to drive down and then have to set up in the dark, so we went to a park/camp grounds near our house (Like 15 minutes away) called Markham Park.

 Mason had fun making things out of tin foil!
 The next morning, the dads took all these boys fishing..

 We also went and watch the mini speed boat races 


And went and watched the remote control airplanes fly


Yes camping is a lot of work, and yes it was a long night with not a lot of sleep, but really it is all so worth it. We had such a fun time and made some great memories, ones I hope my boys will always remember.
It really was a great weekend with great friends!
