The house was set up perfectly. It was not too close to the road so the kids could play without any fear of cars driving by. In the back we had a huge porch with hot tub and fire pit with chairs all around. It was surrounded by trees and a creek so you really were pretty secluded when it came to other cabins being close.
We ended up spending each night by the fire listening to music, eating smores, and talking. Once the kids were asleep and we didn't fear one of them falling into the fire pit we took advantage of the beautiful nights and sat out for several hours taking it all in. I can not tell you how much wood we went through each night just relaxing to the sights and sounds. It was nice to be able to spend time with great friends in God's world.
Overall...after getting there at 6:30ish our first night was a great one.
Daddy came up with the greatest idea of bringing Kaylie her own princess flash light. It had two so both Fletch and Kaylie could use it. This was the greatest thing ever. They loved playing with them and hated when it was time for the flash lights to "go to sleep." They both asked for them the minute they woke up.

Many nights we ate out on the deck. The weather was perfect during the day, cold at night before bed, and freezing in the morning. Each morning we dressed them in warm clothes and a jacket to go out and then back into shorts and a t-shirt by lunch time. 
At first the sights and sounds overwhelmed her so she chose to sit and color. Thankfully, she watch Fletch and Andrew running everywhere and decided she would rather do that. I think it helped she got to use her flash light every where she went.
For things being so new to her I was shocked she actually wanted to try roasting a marshmallow. Unfortunately, the fire was SO hot she couldn't stand there very long. 
Not sure how the kids would do with the camp fire all the moms were slightly on edge making sure to watch them every step of the way. They thankfully took away our stress when the walked over to the deck, started dancing and never really did much with the fire after that. Such a relief for us.
Awesome sport!!! Jolie enjoyed dancing with them. What you can't see is me dancing as well. The only difference was I had the camera. :) Love ya girl!
Kaylie and Andrew played so well together. They were cracking me up chasing each other around. They enjoyed teasing each other.
After a good 5 minutes of one chasing the other they finally both caved and gave the long awaited hug. Precious!!!
