Last weekend after years of prodding, we went camping. Mike has been trying to talk me into camping since we have met. I always wanted to wait until the girls were older. They are the perfect ages now. Once I got over the dirt factor, and was able to relax, we had a blast. I have never seen my kids so dirty.
We met up with 6 others families. At one point I counted 18 kids. We barely saw our kids. They were forced to find things to do. They played in the dirt, climbed rocks, fished and chased chipmunks. Such a much needed escape from the material world at home!
Being in the mountains, we were looking forward to an escape from the heat. No such luck! It was almost has Denver. We did get a small storm both afternoons which cooled things down a bit. The wildlife was amazing! We had to put all of our food and anything scented including suncreen and baby wipes, in the car because there have been bear sighting around the campground!
We found a beautiful lake to fish. So quiet. Had a blast but didn't catch a fish!
It was a big bummer that we couldn't have a campfire of any kind! We improvised my using our LED lantern instead. We danced around the "fire" while listening to guitar music.
What a GREAT family trip!
