Camping Trip/Thanksgiving 2011

For Thanksgiving the Smith family went camping! We went with some good friends from the ward Kim and Brett who also brought along their two little dogs named Scud and Scruffy. Also in our party were two men from Italy.  The Italians (as we lovingly referred to them) are living with our friends while they are here in the states working on their masters programs.  We had a blast! The girls LOVED being outside all of the time and having lots of people and especially dogs to play with.   We went fishing, played games, went on little hikes, went to a parade, and for Thanksgiving dinner we went to a little country restaurant for the traditional meal.  We went for three nights and four days and it was a great trip although, I must say camping takes a lot of energy to pack and unpack all the stuff you need. :) After the camping trip both girls missed those little dogs so much...I guess dogs are in our future! Happy Turkey Day 2011!
