Team Bentson had their first "official" camping trip. We bought a tent and got tons of camoing supplies from some of Rosemary's friends. We loaded up the camping gear, the kids, and headed out to Sibley State Park. We learned that next year we need to reserve campsites well in advance. Sibley is about 20 minutes from the cabin so in case of disaster we could evacuate. Ken set up the camp while Denise, the kids, and myself went to the beach and swam. We grilled brats and hot dogs over the campfire. Made yummy smores!!! It was a little challenging getting the kids to settle down with all of us in a tent. Finally by 10PM all was quiet. We had cereal out of cups for breakfast and all has a good nights sleep. I must admit that it was much better than I imagined it would be. We are looking forward to doing it again before the summer is gone.
Evan has been busy with hockey camps and has one week left in August. He is awesome and gets better every time he skates. He is bored most of the day and looks forward to daycare kids.
We are keeping busy and it is hard to believe that summer is almost gone. We are heading to IA for the kids Birthdays. That will be a fun trip.
Stacy met a guy and they are doing great. His name is Pat and he has a 6 year old son. We are going to meet him this week-end, I hope.
I think that is all the news for now.
Thanks for stopping by!!

It looks like you all had a really good time!! Was it fun sleeping in the tent? Did you have lots of blankets, or was your back killing you in the morning? We used to cheat and bring blow-up mattresses. And a safety space heater. It was roughing it, let me tell ya! Camping is such a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day. Have a great week!
