Turns out, they enjoyed it very much. and so did we....thank goodness, because it had been so long since we went camping, we had to replace or upgrade some of our stuff. Like our tent. Back when we originally bought it, Alex and Frank were 4 and 3 respectively and we had no plans to add three more to the group. Here are a few pics from our trip. We had a lot of fun and only took a few pictures. Enjoy!
Our campsite from the chair I was sitting in looking to the left towards the water.
View of the water from our tent...That is Jaz taking the Diego, Isa and Antonio for a trial run on the inflatable raft we bought....walmart.com...cheap enough and it worked great.
View from the water's edge of our tent. Our campsite was very large. We enjoyed having a large space and staying close to the water.
They are still on a trial run. If you look closely, Antonio is not helping paddle. He has his legs crossed and he is very relaxed.
Isa enjoying some hot chocolate. Notice she camps with pearls (earrings). I had a hard time convincing her she didn't need her beaded shoes for this trip.
Diego, the baby, enjoying some hot chocolate.
Jaz, superdad, annoyed I wanted to take this picture. That is our camp kitchen. Nifty little thing. we did all food prep there and it has a tiny sink to wash out dishes. We tried our very best to not have hardly any trash. We did it - only two heb bags for 4 days. The people next to us had 3 girls and stayed only two days and had 2 large lawn bags full of trash. I was appalled. We work really hard on buying and using various resources and recycle as much as we can.
Our propane stove didn't work at all. We think it was too windy. So all we had was this pot and this comal. I don't know what you call it in English - oh, a griddle / grill.... anyway, it worked out.
Another view of our campsite. By the way, it is number 334, excellent spot. We hope to get the same one next time.
Frank and Antonio in the boat, going for a little spin. Isa and her Dad fishing. Only she would fish in a white bikini. Diego is just hanging out on the rocks like the turtles.
More fishing
Alex is in the back ground, "fishing in the trees" as Jaz puts it. 
Frank and Isa on the way to save big brother.
More rescue pictures.
It cold really cold on Tuesday, so we made Isa gather and chop firewood.(not really, Mom, don't call me....gathering firewood is not allowed - this is totally staged)
