Last weekend (6/26-28/09) we had our first family camping adventures since Hope has joined our family. Aside from Friday night rains that continued through the morning on Saturday, I don't think we have any complaints. We had a great weekend! Hope had a blast! If you ask her, she'll tell you the marshmallows were her favorite part of the weekend. I would've guessed the countless bike rides looping the campground highlighted her first camping trip, but I guess it's hard to compare with the sticky, gooey, sweetness of a jet-puff. I'm so proud of our nature girl!
We're Here - Hope did a good job hanging up our reservation tag.
Hope stayed busy playing while we set up the tent. She was so wonderful!
Saturday Morning - Hope slept through ALL the storms during the night while I stared at the roof of the tent listening to the thunder wondering if it was safe or if we should go to the car. So, she woke early and well rested of course, while I was exhausted and prayed that she'd just continue to keep busy so I could catch a few more winks.
Alas, eventually a girl has got to hit the bathroom in the morning, so we suited up and away we went. When we were packing I realized that the only rain coat we have for Hope is a size (or two) too big, but hey...it kept her dry. :)
Saturday Morning Breakfast in the Rain - We drove to a picnic shelter rather than eating in the tent. You can see, we had the place to ourselves.
One Dry Swing - Blury Photos, But Fun.
Rain Stopped - Time for a bike ride and a fire!
Play Time!
A Ball and Chips...What more do we need?
