Camping

We headed out camping this week and had a fun time even though we got rained out. We planned on camping a couple of nights, but the downpour started at 3am and 5 hours later was still going strong. I've done a lot of camping in the rain, but having a 2 and 4 yr old along changed my perspective on spending a day in the tent. So we headed home a day early. The family camping next to us had 8 kids and the mom was very envious when we departed:). When we arrived the first day the weather was nice and we got in some good swimming and play time. We were near a gorge and went in the rain to an overlook, but as you'll see from the pic below, we mostly had a view of fog--still very beautiful and I think we'll go back to this area sometime. The girls enjoyed roasting marshmallows and sleeping in the tent.




The overlook--all that white behind us is clouds/fog.



Standing in the rain--it was just a little muddy in the campsite:).

I'm glad you guys got out camping anyway. Too bad you got rained out, but at least you got a chance to roast marshmallows and be together. Fun photos!

Forgive me, but I love the picture of Roger roasting marshmallows with his blankie. (Now imagine me with a big cheesy grin.)

I love camping with kids. It's so great to let them run wild and get dirty and zonk out in the tent.
