I Want S'more!

Emily and Jon recently bought a pop up camper and decided to take it out to Cleburne State Park for their first campout after our family Easter celebration.  Because it was a Sunday and we had school the next day, we didn't get to join them for their overnight stay but we did go out and enjoy some s'mores with them before bedtime.  The kids were so excited about going!  Cory and I are not a very outdoorsy couple so the campsite, fire pit and eating s'mores were all new experiences for them. 

Our state park has a great playground, so while Jon finished getting the campsite ready, we took a short walk over to the playground and let the kids run out any energy they had left!   

After the kids played, we walked back and started making s'mores.  You can tell by the pictures that Parker and Eden weren't quite sure what to think about the fire!  It took them a few minutes to warm up to being that close to the open flames (pun intended!). 

They may not have liked the fire but they did like the s'mores!  I'm pretty sure we finished the first bag of marshmallows in record time!  After the last bite was eaten, we headed home for baths and bedtime.  The kids were so disappointed that we had to leave and wanted to stay the night with Addison and Aubrey.  Hopefully, we will be able to find another weekend to go camping with them again.

 

One of the highlights of the day was getting to hang out with Aunt MerMer's new boyfriend, Craig. (We had met him a few weeks earlier but had not spent an extended amount of time with him.)  He was great with the kids and they all enjoyed playing at the park with him.  We can't wait to hang out with him again soon!

Easter Sunday did not start off as we had planned but it ended up being one of the most fun family days that we have had in a while.  We could not have asked for better weather and, as always, the kids loved spending time with their cousins.  Lots of fun memories were made and I am so thankful for holidays with my family!
