Easter Camping Fun


Easter has been a Camping ritual with us for the last 7 years, with the exception of a few missed years here and there.  This year was special though, we had the chance to spend 2 1/2 full days with our kids with NO interruption from cell phones, TV, internet, etc.  You never realize how much time you lose with your family when these things become so normal everyday.  We also had the chance to spend time with our dear friends, The Ludwigs, who we don't get to see very often.  I would have to say this was the BEST camping trip we've had yet!

So, every year Robin does a Fear Factor game with all the camping kids (there's alot!) and our kids have never really competed because they were either too young or too scared.  Well, guess what?  The twins participated this year, in EVERYTHING!! This was the funniest Fear Factor I've yet to witness!!  Proud to say that my little chillens won some dough....Tyler came in 2nd place and won $20 and Alexa came in 6th place and won $10!!  Great job kiddos!!


Challenge 1: Eat a banana with a stocking over your head!  
Tyler Conquered!!
This is hilarious!!
Alexa did it!!


Challenge 2:  Egg roll with a raw egg....with your nose only!!


He's an animal on a mission to win some MONEY!
She's rockin' this Fear Factor thing!


Challenge 3: Always the worst.... They have to eat the nasty food! blech!

This is that dorian fruit...worst smelling stuff ever!
 Either squid or octopus...either way totally gross
 Can says it all!
 Ever want to make someone hurl??  Buy them Fermented Bean Curd
 ick!
Tyler's second guessing this whole Fear Factor challenge...
 Her face says it all!
 That's my boy!! He did it!! (he threw up later too, lol)




The best part of our camping trip was this.....


Ya, the kids too!  But see that Camper??  Yep, that's the best.  Thanks to Billy Ludwig & Ralph!  Remember that ugly old camper we salvaged from a neighbor last year??  Well, that was our family project for some time to fix it up, but when Billy made the offer to trade trailers we jumped at the opportunity!! It makes camping amazing!!

The kids, they are LOVIN' this camping thing!!  HA!


 Ty's Buddy!  We love us some Ludwigs!!

 I tried to get pictures of the Easter egg hunt on Easter morning but I left my camera outside in the cold all night and well, it just decided it didn't want to work! :(

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend too!!
