August Mini Vacation - Camping

After much delibration on what we would do for our mini vacation in August. The kids picked camping. This is not my favorite activity, but an overnight camping trip might be fun for everyone. So much for my planning this vacation. Who knew that you had to make reservations weeks in advance for Friday nights. We decided to try anyway and off we went. The first three campgrounds were indeed full. The Camp Host told us that most spaces fill up by Noon on Friday.

As we were driving back down the mountain. Dave noticed trails off the side of the road. After three attempts we found a perfect spot.

Finally, we are camping. Just like the pioneers.

One view, not many trees, but a gorgeous view.

Another angle what a view and sunset.

Trying to get the girls to pose. I need to blow this one up as a reminder they do like each other.

Trying to help Dad, but we have to poke each other.

Dad finishing up the tent. We don't want it to blow away.

Camp Dinner .... Subway Sandwiches.... Their favorite Meatball Sandwich.

No fires or fireworks allowed dinner had to be something that didn't require cooking. Subway won and they ate all of it.

We survived!!!

The kids weren't interested in staying up late they wanted to sleep in the tent.

It's time to wake up and get dressed !!

We woke up to clouds, thunder, and lightening. So the pack up was quick with breakfast later.

Things we learned on this trip. Ryder learned to pee on the bush. Reganne learned to pee outside as well. There were sticker plants all around. Rylee loves to watch the sunsets.

Who knows we might try this again.
