Admittedly we are NOT campers. But for some reason, we have been getting the itch for it and talking about just DOING it. So since we had got Court a snazzy camp stove/ oven for Father's-Birthday, we figured we should put it to use.
We left Monday morning (July 19th) and headed up to Woods Canyon Lake for our 1:oo pm check-in. Camping has check ins???? We had a great little campsite that backed up the national forest and was VERY strategically located near both the bathrooms AND the potbable water spigot---NICE!
We had quite a sweet set up, and Waverly had NO inhibitions about becoming one with nature around her!!! While the other kids tended to gravitate to some of their 'usual' habits.
Although, Wavee wasn't really cooperating when it came to the nap department.
Can't blame her, it was actually pretty warm in the tent during the day. I was pretty cold the first night in the tent, but the 2nd night was much more manageable---mainly becuz we made daddy sleep on the floor and the rest of us cuddled together on the air mattress. My kiddies are space heaters!
On one of our little nature hikes, Laetner found this cool little fort that had been created against a big rock.
Here is the other side of it--holy cow!
We hiked down to the lake, and the dam, and even went crawdad fishing.
We found some huge rocks that looked like turtle shells, and Laetner insisted we needed to go on TurtleShell a'ventures' in order to find more.
Court decided it might be a good time to ponder the real meaning of life...CUCKOO!
We had a lot of fun, and definitely will be doing it more often. Next time, we just need to pack our bikes!
Aaah, the joys of 2 year olds and camping! Ü
