Emma's First Camping Trip

Emma loved cmamping! I have never seen a dirtier girl! She loved not having to be clean and able to make a mess.
This is a 4 man tent which usually means a 3 man tent but heck we crammed two adults and one toddler on the air mattress and Kinzie in the corner in her car seat. We were all very warm and pretty comfortable. Emma was especially comfy and warm and slept soundly...until the sun came up at 5:30 am. I introduced Emma to the camping hair style... or lack of!


We had a great spot right on the creek, surrounded by trees, but too close and downwind of the potties! I'm the only one with a sensitive nose apparently.




Even Kinzie loved camping! The early morning got a little cold but she was well bundled in a little cocoon and was probably the warmest...or second to Emma maybe.




We of course roasted our Smores which Emma liked for a few minutes...but then decided it was much easier and faster just to eat the marshmallows and cookies raw and separately!

You are so awesome to get out there with your kids! It reminds me of our camping trip in Idaho a couple years ago...Jackson's first! We were just looking at pictures of it the other day. Miss you guys!
