Camping

We went on our first camping trip with the boys this past weekend. We went with some other families and had a great time. We only did a one-nighter since we wanted to be home to go to Easter service on Sunday, but it was a good test run for camping with the boys. I had a great time relaxing and the kids really had fun just running with all the other kids until they were exhausted. It was great for them to pretty much be able to run free with nobody checking on them.
The campsite itself was absolutely beautiful. We were at Ho'omaluhia Gardens, they have large grassy areas to camp on, reasonably close to the parking lot and decent bathrooms. We had a little rain the first night, and I think if we ever got some heavy rain we might be a little soggy in the morning. But we only got a little damp on this trip.
I still can't get over how pretty the whole gardens were and that we got to camp there. We'll definitely have to go back the next time the group heads out there or maybe we'll organize a few friends and head back over.
We had a nice Easter morning - early church and then the kids hunted for their baskets. The rest of the day has mostly been rainy so we've just hung out and relaxed.
Now it's back to reality, school and errands and all that fun stuff again tomorrow.

Here are some photos from the camping trip...

It really was this green!
