Spring Campout--Burke Lake Park


"Glamping"












Abby asked to tagalong on the Spring Campout and sleep in the tent.  Since they are "family friendly" events, there are usually lots of siblings in attendance.  It was right down the street so while I did not stay over (our tent was tight with the three of them), I was close enough to come back right at breakfast time in the morning.  The kids had a blast hiking, playing tug of war, doing crafty things, and eating lots of s'mores.  

There is always a big campfire at night where each den puts on a quick, funny skit, and Abby got a kick out of that too!  For Alex's skit he wore a bathrobe over his clothes...that came in handy with the chilly temperatures the next morning.  I attempted a cinnamon roll-in-an-orange-on-the-grill recipe that another Mom found on Pinterest.  It needs some tweaking before we attempt again.  Luckily, there was plenty of other food.  Abby enjoyed sleeping in the tent and Alex was happy to have her there.
