Camping!

Our first season at the Farmer's Market ended in September, and what better way to celebrate tons of food prep, getting up before the crack of dawn, packing up coolers and tents, than to do it all over again, but this time for an overnight camping trip!!!

Olympia's family and ours met up at my parent's house for a campout to celebrate the success of our There's No Taste Like Home business that we started up for the Farmer's Market (see older post for more info)

My parent's have an immaculate yard, as well as lots of property, so we had our own private campground - really incredible!

Aaron (Olympia's husband) started the fire. They are big scouters, so this was a fire started the boy scout way - only one match and no paper!

Quinton goofing off!



Our tent - the kids had a lot of fun running between our two tents.



The weather was absolutely perfect - slightly chilly at night to make you appreciate the fire, but warm when the sun was up.



Waiting for breakfast.



My dad came down in the morning, and showed us how to hard boil an egg in a paper cup! It was done in three minutes (for soft boiled)!



Domenic with his hot chocolate. Not sure how much of it he actually drank, but he certainly had fun with it!



Olympia working on breakfast.



Breakfast is finally ready!!!





Domenic checking out the goings-on!




Happy Roman!





Olympia's two oldest had their own tent down the way a little. They set it up in a little bend in the path by the creek. If you look closely, you can see it.



All that fun really wore Roman out! (this was also his second week of chemotherapy, but as you can see, his tolerates it very well).






Letting the fire die out before we pack up and call it a day!
