Camping Fun

Warning: Photo heavy post!! :)

As soon as we got settled on Saturday we went to the pool.

The girls were fascinated by the fire - no surprise. Callie also got a lesson on roasting marshmallows and s'mores.

I still can't believe we did this one! I discovered Southern Plate a couple of weeks ago and have since tried many of Christy's recipes. Each and every one has been a hit with the cook and the diners at my house. I decided to give the Crock Pot Oatmeal a try and figured what better time to wake up to a warm breakfast than after spending the night in a tent.

We set the crock pot up and plugged it into the service pole beside our tent. I had no idea if bears like oatmeal or not or if the crock pot would even be able to stay warm with the cool air at night, but I gave it a try anyway. I woke up twice in the night to rain showers as well so we really put the old Rival to the test. I am here to tell you it survived all the obstacles beautifully and thankfully we didn't draw the attention of any night time prowlers. The oatmeal was also very tasty, especially with the chocolate chips on top!

Thanks, Christy

We also took in the zoo. Callie's most favourite part was feeding the "horses". She was absolutely thrilled and wanted to go back.

We got home alot earlier than we had planned as the weather was poor but all in all we had a great trip.
