Camping with the Ward

Last night we went to our ward preparedness campout. All summer long, the activities committee has been holding classes on "How to make your 72-hour kits" and last night we got to test them out. I haven't been to a ward campout since we left Utah ten years ago, so we thoroughly enjoyed camping with friends from our ward.

The weather forecast called for rain, and a lot of people cancelled because we all know camping with kids in the rain is not a fun experience, but we ended up with great weather!

Last night we gathered around the campfire and then today there were classes on fishing and cooking that I really enjoyed. The kids had a great time staying up late, playing with friends, fishing in the pond, exploring the woods, and eating up all the smores!
