Campout Rainout

The first weekend of October was to be Olivia's first campout with her Adventure Girls tribe (aka Indian Princess - we must be politically correct these days you know!). I can't even tell you how excited she was for this campout. She was going to be reunited with all her friends from pre-school and she couldn't wait! It turned out to be quite a busy weekend on the social calendar so Olivia missed the first night of the campout for her BFF's (Kennedy) birthday party!

So early Saturday morning we got up and got she and Denny packed and ready to go!

...and back!
Their tribe's name is Friends of a Feather and Olivia's adventure name is "Loving Heart".
By the way, she came up with that on her own!

Finally they arrived at their cabin... lovely isn't it?!

And their flag hanging in front of their cabin!

Yikes! I really hope there was a railing there! ;)

"Hey kids, look, a deer!"
(for all my Christmas Vacation fans out there!)
(Hopefully there was no flipping of the bird by any daddies!)
Getting situated inside the cabin... ultra luxurious accomodations!



The campfire, which is what they came home smelling like!



All the dads and their girls!
Unfortunately for these sweet girls their campout was cut short due to mother nature! We have seen crazy amounts of rainfall this fall and so many things have been canceled or rescheduled, and sadly, this was one of them! Olivia was devastated to have to come home without ever actually staying the night at her campout, but she had a great time while they were there and is looking forward to their next one!

So fun . . . and she'll have many more camp nights to experience. I love camping with kids - they really get into it. Of course, cabins with beds are infinitely better than tents!
