Jason had a 4 day weekend and wanted to get away. We still stayed close to home and headed to Red Lodge, Montana. They were having forest fires in the mountains and we didn't know what the camping was going to be like. We walked down town, visited the candy emporium and stocked up with a bag of cand and some chocolate. I had heard of a great park there, so we asked the locals and found it. We didn't stay long, since we needed to find a place to "set up house".
Once everything was put up and the mattresses were blown up, the girls had a ball running and jumping in the tent and snuggling under the blankets.
Daddy got a fire going and we were set for a wiener roast.

It was a good thing we ate when we did and got the campsite up, because just as we got done, it started to rain and it rained all evening and night. It was great for the forest fires. Thankfully, it wasn't smoky smelling either.
Since it was raining and we didn't want to sit in the tent, we drove back into town for some "sert" as Katelyn says. Dessert was ice cream!
It was a cool night. We started with Daddy, Mommy and Megan on the queen air mattress. Katelyn soon got cold all by her lonesome, and snuggled in with Mommy. Megan still wasn't sleeping. Daddy got squished and moved to the single mattress. Katelyn snuggled in and fell asleep. Megan still wasn't sleeping. She rolled around and around until I don't know when, until she finally fell asleep in the middle. We were roasty-toasty. It didn't take long and Papa bear got cold, so I got booted to the single. Daddy packed the bedding and didn't quite bring enough for that one bed, so it was a bit colder than the two sleeping bags zipped together. The girls slept great and were ready to go again the next morning. Mom and Dad on the other hand, needed some wake up coffee.
