Fall Camping

We took the kids out on Friday night for our first Fall Campout. The weather was perfect. Cold enough to really enjoy the fire...but not so cold that we had to put on more than a long sleeved top. But thank goodness for the trailer...no getting out of the tent in the middle of the night and making that long freezing walk to the outhouse.

Dirty faced Spencer.

Game TIME!!

The next morning we kept breakfast really simple (oatmeal and cereal and hot chocolate) before setting off on a hike. As I was cleaning up breakfast though, I almost stepped right on a TARANTULA!!!! Another "Thank Goodness for trailers instead of tents" moment. I've never seen one in the wild...neither has Rhett in all his camping and hiking. I screamed of course, more at the thought of it crunching and squishing under my foot than the thought of it biting me...it was pretty cold and slow moving. After Rhett rescued it to the other side of the campground, we set off on a little hike up the mountain.
