I took them to a KOA about an hour away from our house. I chose this location because these campgrounds are very kid friendly. It was helpful to have the playground across from our campsite while I was setting up and tearing down camp, but in between it was sort of a pain.
I took a lot of pictures with my phone and now I realize they don't transfer well...at least not when you send them to hotmail. There's an option to "send to blog" and I will try that out one of these days and see what happens.
So we camped 4 nights. Thursday to Monday. It was exhausing and a lot of work, but I think a good experience for the kids and a learning lesson for me. Next time: use a SMALLER tent, or better yet, rent a cabin!
One morning I loaded the kids up and went to explore the Baker Lake area, to which I had never been. I pulled off to a boat launch area and found a nice picnic area and swiming beach. This is pretty much the only time I took out my camera, sad to say, but better than nothing!
The view from the beach.
Before they wandered into the water. I was just hoping for some rocks to throw, but the water was just too much for the kids to resist. I didn't bring swimsuits along, so we improvised. Luckily I had some extra clothes in the car.
Doesn't it look like they're sharing so well? Ah, the magic of pictures! :)
Cute.
Cute too.
Super cute. I gushed so much over this picture that it's become Kaylee's signature pose.
Hudson came up to me and said "heart, heart!" He is always finding shapes in things. I looked at the rocks he had found and sure enough, they looked like hearts. What made it so special was that once Jeff found a heart shaped rock and I took a picture of him with it.
