While Shar, Trav, and the girls were here we decided a campout was a must!
The weekend that worked best happened to be our 6th Anniversary. YAY to 6 wonderful years for us!
We had not attempted a family campout with 3 kiddos and it was definitely fun!
The boys LOOOVED every second of it.
The camping buddies: Our family of 5, Shar, Trav & girls, Nate, Allison & girls, Shawn & Abby, and Emily.
The tent was lots fun to set up and the kids thought it was the coolest thing ever. It's big enough we could fit the packnplay in it for Ryder. Awesome.
Weston had tons of fun digging and working on cutting wood. Ryder just walked and walked and crawled in the dirt, and Tave ran around having a blast with everyone.
We had our traditional flashlight hike, (the dad's and the kids), smores, yummy food, and talking by the campfire.
Here are some fun shots of our campsite adventures:
We did some hiking and rock climbing while we were there.
It is gorgeous. Simply breathtaking. I love taking time to truly enjoy nature and this beautiful earth we've been given.
Weston thought rock climbing was THE coolest. He climbed all the way to the top of the rock and then repelled down so quick. He was awesome. (can you spot him at the top of the rock...click to enlarge picture!) Tave thought it was good enough to get hoisted up a bit and then come back down. So proud of both my brave boys!
It was such an awesome trip and a great way to end Shar & Trav's visit.
It brought back so many camping memories from my growing up years.
I have learned that camping with kids is a TON of work. I am so glad my parents did it, though, and that they gave us so many amazing family vacations. Camping is definitely a family activity we hope to do often through the years!!
Thanks Shar & Trav for planning it! We loved every minute!!
