Per tradition, we went camping in Huntsville for Easter weekend. For the first time, we decided to take the whole family. The kids did great sleeping. We didn't lose anyone... for too long.
The only part of the weekend that kind of stunk was the burn ban. So no campfires. Which translates to no s'mores and a messier meal prep as we couldn't use the fire to cook. We improvised and still had a good time.
The stake switched from hosting a big dinner Friday night to doing a dessert potluck and a bunch of games for the kids and youth. It was a good time.
We saw quite a few very large alligators in the water. Thankfully they stay away from the swimming beach. I kept Lydia off the fishing pier because of one alligator though. The fishing pier has no barriers to prevent kids from falling into the water so that was a no-go for her.
Tanner caught his first fish and was thrilled. Ashton reconnected with her long-lost best friends from Lake Jackson. Gemma and Lydia stayed a little closer to camp and still whined and complained like they do at home. We went out in a canoe around the lake. We took the kids swimming. Joseph went on a bike ride with the other dads.
