The Meatballs Go Camping

You read that right.  We went camping.  This made us laugh a little as we packed up the truck.

This is pretty true for us.  We had to buy a tent (obv) a big one and 3 little chairs for the kiddos, bug spray and lots of food!!  We went to Jellystone, which is like resort camping.  Sounds perfect for me because I don't consider myself a camper.  Although, that might have to change because Meatball bitched like a woman for the first day and half!!  This may have to do with my tendency to underpack.  I admittedly packed 2 pillows for 5 people (3 kids and 2 adults) and only 1 ipad.  I know - WHAT WAS I THINKING?  Haha I guess I wasn't.  I thought we would rough it?  We went with my sister and Uncle Pete and they brought their trailer.  So we had access to a full kitchen and bathroom :)


Anyway, we had fun!!  And I loved that the nights got chilly so we could snuggle with all those babies in the tent.  And Yes I will still call them my babies when they are 17, 14 and 13.  Meatball drank a bottle of fireball so he really shouldn't have had any complaints, right?

I wish I took a picture of the smores we had!  Who knew a layer of peanut butter would make them taste divine with Bud Light!!

Anyway, the pools were awesome.  I love a kiddie pool!

And after my Meatball said "Italians don't camp!"  Guess who caught 3 fish??  Canoeing, a playground, a camp store for more stuff and eating!  We can't complain.

 Happy Campers!  And we already booked for next year - in a cabin this time :)
