Camping with the Karal's

Our first camping trip in the Payne's August Camping Trip Extravaganza is complete! (That's a working title.) We went up to our Bear Canyon Lake spot for a one night camp out with David and Shannon. So fun.
Packing it in tight.
In our little SUV there was: a pop up canopy, folding table, shower room, 5 gallon bucket potty, camp stove, a pack-in-play, a mini camp table, air mattress and pump, 2 folding and reclining chairs, 3 miscellaneous canvas totes with camp gear, a propane lantern, firewood, chain saw, 2 rugs (for baby to play on), a booster seat, cooler, blanket, basket of non-cold food, duffle bag of clothes etc., 2 adults, 1 infant and a dog. That isn't mentioning what we put in our canoe. There was: our tent, kitchen stuff tote, bag of canoe stuff, and two sleeping bags. Just wanted to share. :) (Thanks Erik for helping lift the canoe up!)

Cam made this little potty room. It was nice to have.
We cut a hole in the bottom of the tent and bucket and dug a hole. And by we, I mean that handy man o' mine. :)
He cut firewood.
(Thanks Nolan for the saw!)
Jake played in the tent and got crazy static hair.
And, fell asleep in his high chair.
He had never done that before.
David and Shannon.

Major and Oliver got along.
They loved getting spoiled with human food.
Cam made fire. ::Grunt, Grunt::
And I took pictures.
Awesome Flame.
And, Hot Coals.
