For Spring Break this year, we joined two other families and went camping close to Austin, TX at McKinney Falls State Park. Three families included six adults and 15 kids. Four of the kids are juniors in high school. They pretty much did their own thing. The rest of the kids range from 2-seventh grade.
We headed out on Monday morning. Scheduled departure time: 10am. Actual departure time: after noon. The drive took us about three hours. We had some decisions to make when when got there. The campground was full but we wanted all three families to be close together. One family has a camper and the other two are tent camping so after we got our spots all sorted out we set up camp.

Well, we decided we wanted to be close together so we just all camped at the same site (but we paid for three sites). Well they didn't like that because we put one tent on the grass and not the pre mapped out tent site. So they made us move one tent. Unfortunately it was the Simmons tent that was not on a spot. Not everyday you see a tent walking down the street.

Ladybug wanted to help with the campfire!
We finally got everything set up and ready to go. But we needed to cook dinner before it got dark. Kabobs were on the menu. (It is all about the food right). But it took us a while to make Kabobs and grilled pineapple for that many people! We finished cooking by flashlight that night.
Day one is in the books.
