Mott Family Campout-Mission Accomplished!

Well we finally did it!!! After two years of talking about it and trying to time it we finally went camping- The entire family together!!! Between soccer games, cub scout outings, boy scout campout, as well as holidays and other activites it seemed like it would never happen. But God so kindly opened last weekend just for us to go camping. Being that Caitlin and I hadn't ever been roughing it before we were a little nervous. You know becoming dinner for a man eating bear or snakes attacking us at night while we sleep. But I am happy to report no casulties, not even poison ivy!! We had the best time! It was a perfect sunny day. Our campsite was right above the river so we could run down and go fishing and listen to the river while we sleep. We caught so many fish poor Greg has his work cut out for him. We roasted marshmellows by the fire and just embraced the great outdoors together!! NO TV and we survived!! :) It was fun to watch the kids just being kids, playing in the dirt, helping build the fire, cook and hang out together. It did get a little cool at night and there wasn't much sleep for Greg and I. Funny how noisy it is out there in the middle of nowhere. I must say it's a lot of work to roughing it , but well worth it! So mission accomplished and can't wait to go again!!
