Let's Go Camping!

We're going camping!  We're meeting one of our favorite families.  It will be their first camping trip!  

Eric, Morgan, and Bailey

We will bring our camping gear.  They will bring their camping gear.  We will meet at a campground and set up our camps next to each other.  We haven't seen these friends in almost two years, so this will be a VERY special time!


We will sleep in tents.  We will hike and swim.  We will play games.  It will be so much fun!!!

We will bring a special dinner that is great for kids.  We found the recipe on the "Camping with Gus" website.  It is called "Tacos in a Bag."  Here's the recipe and the ingredients that you will need:

• One small bag of Dorito chips (2.5-3.5 oz), one per camper
• 1/2 cup cooked and Taco-seasoned hamburger meat per camper
• chopped lettuce
• shredded cheese
• diced onions
• diced tomatoes
• salsa or taco sauce

Here's the fun part... open the Dorito bag.  Add the ingredients that you like.  Crunch everything together.  Eat!!!
