a-campin we did go

hoomaluhia botanical gardens are GORGEOUS! remember this post where i invited people to come be crazy with us and camp? well, the allreds, millers, and parkers must have been feeling crazy cuz they said they wanted to and i think we all wondered how things would go- and maybe even expected the worst- but things went great!

the kids had so much fun and just ran in circles the whole time. it was really fun for all of us to watch them play and get along so well. it was a really good group/mix/number of people at our perfect site. we ate a lot of junk, which is mandatory when you are camping for some reason.

when we asked ambrose about the whole experience after we were home, showered, and mostly unpacked today he said this: (and in a very serious, and contemplative tone mind you)

"friends, um marsh-yeddows (marshmallows), DUCKS! (i dont have pictures of that so i will steal them when my friends post theirs), camping, sleep mommy daddy asher TENT!!, cook da marsh-yeddows and a stick, PLAY!!!'

that about sums it up really. our small tent was a good size for our snuggly little family and i slept like a log (i think i was just tired, but really it wasnt bad). asher slept really great too. i think he liked the cooler weather- he didnt wake up drenched in sweat once! we had such a great time that we want to do it again and again and again. cant wait.
