Camping--our style..."Heated Cabins, Meals Provided"

This weekend was our annual camping experience for the fam. Now some of you may not classify it as camping, as I have always described it, "Heated Cabins, meals provided". It's the closest thing that we'll get to camping, and the kids don't know the difference!
Here's our heated cabin
Ok, coolest thing ever invented: HUMAN FOOSEBALL(SP?) The campground has created this field, where the players stand in 50 gallon drums that are set underground. You can only bat at the ball, and try to score in your opponents goal. The kids played one game until a team had five, then the parents took over. We played for two hours!!


This shows most of the field

Will got in on the "mixed" adult/kid game. He's next to one of our pastors!

Ted and Will also had their first experience with paintball, but by then my camera battery was dead! We also enjoyed a night hayride, campfire with s'mores and "barrel rides" (the creativity of this camp! Again, using 50 gal drums, this time on their sides and wheels attached underneath, you sat in them, pulled by a tractor) It was a fantastic weekend!
Since I haven't blogged in a while, here's the kids during homecoming here--they got "decorated" at school, and got out early to go to the city-wide homecoming parade, where EVERYONE goes!



And yes, I had my g-sale. Got rid of quite a bit of stuff we don't need! So things are finally leveling off for us--hopefully my next post will include a tour of the house, now that we are unpacked.

WOW! You've had a lot going on! Camp looked like a blast and the kids couldn't look happier about homecoming. I'll be waiting for the house post...I've been dying to see it all done!

I want to go to your church campout too. That sounds closer to my idea of camping. How fun! Wait to go with the g-sale!! You rock!

Here is a link to a video of us playing Human Foosball. It is poor quality because it was shot with my cell phone, but you'll get the idea.
