Camping in our woods

This last weekend the 2 neighbor boys, D'Artanyan, and myself went camping in the woods that are in hiking distance from our place.

All loaded up and off we go.
We had to climb under a bob wire fence to enter the field that leads to the woods.

Finally got to the woods but then...

....OH MAN another bob wire fence.
We had to study this one and come up with a great plan to get past it.

There were also some streams we had to cross and we set up camp next to one of them.

For dinner we had ramen noodles and hot dogs, and for dessert we had marshmallows.
For breakfast we ate eggs, sausage links, and toast.
We played the bug game and the neighbor boys are now addicted to it.

This was in the morning and I had most of camp packed up.

On the way to the campsite we encountered a wild turkey and I chased it around in a big circle trying to get some good pics but my camera settings weren't set right so the pics didn't turn out. The boys all thought this was the funniest part of the whole trip, watching me run in circles. They thought it was a beaver. Sorry, but I will tell you it was a Mom turkey because there were 4 or 5 baby turkeys following her, and she kept trying to divert me away from them.
We had loads of fun and the kids can't wait till we go again. Of course we came home with lots of tics in tow.
