Camping...Finally

In August, 2008, I mentioned that we wanted to go camping and mused at how long it would take us to actually get around to it. Almost a full year later we went camping!

We packed up the entire house, threw the two dogs in the trunk (not really), and met up with some great friends, their two younger kids, and their little dog for an excellent weekend enjoying the outdoors.



It rained for part of the first day so we shut the dogs in the tent. Ilow didn't like that at all. Otherwise we enjoyed eating and sitting by the campfire and drawing and the dogs went swimming in the river.





{Sherpa required some rescuing}

Ellie got her first taste of two kid staples; juice boxes and fruit roll-ups. Yum.



She also further honed her beg-like-a-dog skillz. Why eat my hot dog when I can have yours?



It was tons of fun and I hope we get around to another trip this summer.

Looks like FUN! And I love how she has the Fruit Roll Up around her finger--it was always fun to eat them that way :)

We still haven't taken lil Max camping -- it is on the list for this year. Maybe I can get him and daddy to go in the backyard one of these nights for starters...
