Camp at Galilee

I had been wanting to go on a camp out at the Sea of Galilee for some time. We wanted to wait till it wasn't so hot and then Chris got busy at work, so we didn't end up going until the 7th of November. The news said that there would be rain off and on, but I refused to push off the trip anymore. So we headed out....We got to the camp site and they said they were closed for the year. We thought this was odd since it had been in the 80's still. So we drove to the next camp place they were also closed but the nice man said that we could still camp there. And it was free!!!

We set up camp and the kids played on the fun little play ground. 


The sun started to set and we pulled out our dinner and ate.




After dinner we went in to the tent and told ghost stories (well one ghost story, after Chris told about the "click,click shhhhhh" the kids didn't want anything more to do with scary stories) We brought along our DVD players and finished the night with a movie. (Yes, I know, is this really camping?)


We woke up the next morning to the sounds of thunder in the distance, but we (I) decided to just take the morning easy and see how things went. 
(I think Chris' face is do to the unpleasant night, us two old folks spent sleeping on the ground.)

Yes the rain did hold out for us to finish eating breakfast and getting dressed and even for us to clear out the tent, unfortunately it started to pour as Chris and I put down the tent.

After our hike we came back to the Sea because Olivia was in hysterics that I had packed swimming suits but because it had started to rain I told them we would have to swim another time. 
Chris trumped me and said "Wet is wet", and took them out swimming in a down pour.



What beautiful place this is, we are thankful to have the opportunity to be here!

  1. So fun! It's amazing that you get to be so near the water and get to play in it all the time.

    Also, roaches ARE gross. I loathe them.

    And I cannot believe how grown-up your kids look! They are adorable!

    Once again, so jealous of your experience there! (In a happy, healthy way, of course.)
