Rain, Potty Accidents, and Bugs
Those are just a few of the things that I thought might await me when we went camping on Friday night. However, I was really excited about the chance to go with some friends, and figured that since it was just for one night, it would be okay.
Well, I am happy to report that it was more than okay, it was a blast! None of the things that I worried about were even a little bit of a problem. It didn't rain at all while we were there (even though it had been raining all week). There were no mosquitoes to be found, and Makenna did not have a single potty accident. We enjoyed a beautiful day of hiking, playing with friends, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, and telling lots of fun stories around the fire.
Setting up our little tent that barely fit the 4 of us.
Hudson hung out in the back of the car while we worked.
All of the kids getting ready for our hike.
Our hike through the State Park was absolutely beautiful. The majority of it was in water that ran through limestone canyons.
After our hike, we played by the side of the river throwing rocks, and playing in the sand
We were all pretty wiped out by the end of our hike, and actually didn't sleep too bad in our tent. Although at one point during the middle of the night, I thought I heard a raccoon scratching at the outside of our tent. It took me a few minutes to realize that it was Hudson, who having woken up without a peep, was just trying to grab the side of the tent!

it was great fun. I loved it even though it was a lot of work to get there and then come home and put everything back i think it was worth it! glad we could all go!
Loved the pictures. So cute to see my 'little boy' sleeping by his 'little boy' :)
Sounds like so much fun! I've been hoping to go camping sometime this summer. If you can do it with two little ones and still have fun, Mike and I have no excuse! :)
How fun! I'm glad everything went better than expected. The hike looks like it was amazing!
That sounds like so much fun! I'm glad it was a success camping with two young kids. And you are lucky to have such an innocent scratching...last summer we went camping and actually had more than on raccoon prowling around our tent. Needless to say I was up for hours!
