Camping

We decided to do a last minute camping trip last weekend! It was the first time we have gone here in Florida... we finally figured out that around here you go in the winter and early spring, NOT in the summer! Gathering everything for the trip and cleaning it all up when we got home was a lot more work than it seems like it should be, but we had a lot of fun! This was Ryker's first time sleeping "in the outside" (in a tent) and he loved it!

Breakfast... oops. We brought a griddle and stuff for pancakes, bacon and eggs, but we forgot to check if our little power inverter for the truck was powerful enough to run the thing... turns out its not! So we tried to cook it in a tinfoil disposable roasting pan over the fire, which did not work very well but we did our best. Bacon just catches fire - too greasy, pancakes stick to the pan without the cooking spray which we tried to use, but also started the pan on fire. The scrambled eggs turned out pretty good, then we all had a bowl of cereal.

Worn out and very dirty!

The next day we went to the Homosassa Springs wildlife park down the road from the campground. Ryker had fun riding the boat to the park and seeing all the animals. I was pretty tired of walking around by the time we left! (6 months pregnant, ya know!)
