Our First Family Camp Out!
















We decided to take the plunge and try a real camping trip. You know the kind...the tent sleeping, hot dog roasting, s'more eating, dirt playing kind of camp out. We had an absolute blast. The kids loved riding their bikes around the paved loop. Kai even learned how to use his brakes on his new "Cars" bike.

Not only did DiDi and Papa join us for dinner, but Maya and Kai's cousin Kayleigh arrived in time for S'mores (they were staying with my parents who live a mere 2 miles from our campsite).

Kai played in the sand until he was covered from head to toe in dirt (too bad there are no bathtubs here).
Once in bed, the kids were asleep within minutes. Unfortunatenly, Maya woke with the sunrise. We were all up by 5:30a.m. and packed up by 7:30. There's not a whole lot to do at a campground at 5:30a.m. So we decided to pack up and head home for some rest and relaxation. Wait a second...isn't that what camping is for?
