Eight hour camping, I highly recommend it. We along with some friends of ours headed off to Pine Mt. to spend a day camping (if you can call it that) with the kids. The master plan came from our friend J.D. We thought it was a great idea particularly considering we would be home that night to sleep in our own beds. It was so much fun. Our kids had never been to a camp site let alone around a real camp fire before. Pretty sad I know. They LOVED every minute of it. Spending the day outside was like heaven on earth for them.
Here's a few pics of our day.

We had the best day. Maybe next time Luke and I (okay mostly I) will muster up the courage to stay the night.

Looks like a lot of fun.
Hey... I wanna go camping. That looks like so much fun. Thanks for blogging. We really missed your cute family at Christmas but it was fun to read all about it and can't wait for the next time we can meet and hang out with you guys. Can you e-mail me your address. I got a cousin DVD to send to you guys. thesugies@yahoo.com. Only when you have time. Thanks
What a GREAT idea! So ingenious. I love that you are home in your own beds to sleep at night. And how nice that you can camp in January in Georgia!
That looks ike so much fun! Too bad Mere didn't ell me until a few hours before! :) Thanks! What a fun day. Did you go to look at the lights too? She said you were going to.
I am thinking that that idea is a huge WINNER! How fun....so did you actually have to pay for a camp site? That would be kind of strange, but probably cheap if you did.
Now that is a brilliant idea. You get the feeling of camping, but you don't have to sleep on the ground or deal with kids through the night. Will and I are normally great outdoorsy people, but after taking Preston camping when he was 2 months old....I decided that camping with a baby was NOT fun. So maybe the 8 hour camping thing is something we will have to try. hAha.
On another note we missed you guys at Yellowstone. You were all in our thoughts the entire time. Hope your Christmas at home was wonderful though!
that's my kind of camping, all the fun but still get a good sleep. next time you go, hopefully i won't be in labor and i'll be able to come too!
What a great idea! Camping would be so much more fun if half the work (packing the tents and sleeping gear) were eliminated. What's the big deal about sleeping under the stars? That's why skylights were invented!
