Camping with my Granddaughter

This was the 1st time Jeseika ever went camping. She had been to various lakes before this trip. However, she had never spent the night in a tent! We spent 3 days at Lake Ft. Cobb. Lillian came with us as well. Of course, if you read my blog much, you know Lillian is a GREAT camper!!! She is ALWAYS the one I want to take. Furthermore, I thought she might be able to help me keep an eye on Jeseika, who is 5 yr old.

Here Jeseika and Lillian are roasting marshmallows to make some-mores. BTW, Lilly made this fire all by herself!!! Seriously, she is awesome!

Here is Jeseika AFTER eating some-mores!

We had a ton of fun!!! Tim ALWAYS wants the tent as close to the water as possible without the waves hitting the tent. The below picture was taken at a time when the lake had normal winds.
However, the last night we did NOT have normal winds. Luckily the water never got inside the tent. The waves definitely hit the tent, but they never got inside! Nevertheless, one of our tent poles did break in the 60+ mph winds!

Camping with the Bennetts is always an ADVENTURE!!! We camp in the "Primitive Sites." We sleep in a tent with no electricity, no running water, and the nearest toilet is a small hike away! Furthermore, the only supplies we take has to fit in our Nissan Maxima!

Watch the below video of Jessie dancing by our picnic table!


Notice, she REALLY starting dancing AFTER she learns I am video taping her!!! The lighting on this video is not very good. Please understand our equipment is limited.
