We went camping this last weekend with Tara and Jake. We had SO much fun. It was nice to get away from stuff and relax and also I loved going to see Cave Falls. I love having a camper. It really makes it so we can go camping more than just during the typical camping season. Our heater worked beautifully and kept our camper nice during the night. Here are some pictures we took during the camping trip. Thanks Tara and Jake for going camping with us!!
Here's Nathan reading Tom Sawyer to the kids before they go to bed. Jo insisted on sitting on our bed just in case there was a picture. I'm thinking it was because she was so tired that if she'd been laying down, she wouldn't have made it to the end of the chapter.
Here's more reading. I think this one is great because you can see just how "cozy" we are in our camp trailer. We just "downsized" from a 29 ft. trailer that Nathan worried about pulling every time we went camping. Now we have a newer 17 ft. fifth wheel that is much easier to pull. Nathan has said that he feels like it was made for our truck. It really is much nicer. It's just taken some getting used to.
Breakfast on Saturday morning. Notice, Calvin is the only one eating like a big kid.
Zoey discovered the fun of a dirt fight. Here she is dumping dirt on Calvin.
This is her "I'm completely innocent" pose.
Now she's going after Gus.
This photo just cracks me up. It almost looks like Calvin is begging for mercy and Zoey isn't about to show any.
The aftermath of the dirt fight. 
Here are the kids with the lower Cave Falls in the background. Notice, once again, Calvin is the only one paying attention.
Heading down into the cave.
Here's our little family in the cave with the falls behind us.
Nathan found this little spring in the cave and the kids loved it.
On the lower "beach" with the falls in the background
A look at the upper falls from the trail.
Jo checking out the upper falls from the lookout.
The stairs going up to the upper falls parking lot. We got to know these well. I think we went up them about four times looking for kids and taking kids to the bathroom.
Back at camp chillin' around the fire. Jo and Owen stole Jake's sunflower seeds and thought that they were the best things ever. That's the bag that Jo is holding.
Another campfire moment. Notice how nice the fire ring looks. It's amazing what a few rocks can do for the place.
Zoey and Calvin saying goodbye.
Yay!! We love camping!!!

We totally have to do that again next year! Maybe we'll be nice and invite more people. I'm glad we didn't end up with all the same pictures on our blogs.
I'm officially inviting our family camping with yours next summer. We'd never survive more than one night on our own, and from the looks of things you guys are old pros! I think we have a tent....somewhere.
