Joanna's First Camping Trip

A couple week ago we went on the church camp out at Shawme-Crowell State Forest. It was Joanna's first time camping and our first time on Cape Cod.

Shiloh spent the drive up trying to sit in the front.

We got there with just enough time to set up the tent before dark. We were pretty tired.

Camp sweet camp.

Shiloh tried to escape from the tent.

It was really hot and humid while we were there. Joanna got some cooling off time at the camp water spicket.

We never got the canoe in the water bur Joanna enjoyed it anyway.

With the high humidity it was really hard to start a fire. You can see Rick worshiping the campfire gods.

Joanna tried to help.

This was a very strange camp out for me. I'm used to camping in places where you have to drive down the mountain to get to civilization. This was a family favorite. On this camp out we were able to pick up some things we forgot at Walmart, go out to breakfast and I could even see some one's back yard from our camp site.

I think Joanna's favorite time was at the group camp fire where she got to play with Brielle. They even had craft time and made mini lighthouses.
