Family Camping Trip

So much to post, so little time....

Two weeks ago we went on a family camping trip to Mt. Madonna. I had never been there before. C had...years ago.

It had been two years since we went camping as a family and we really needed this time away. Enjoying the outdoors, no phones, no computers, no TV. It was heaven. I even cooked! C usually does all the cooking while we are camping. I've become quite the little camper.

Curious to know what our camping menu was? I've posted that on my BMCC blog-pictures and all. You can check it out here.

Nothing like sitting outside under the redwoods with a glass of wine and a crossword. That was C as I was making dinner the first night.


C obviously had the camera..I think this is my better side....at least during a camping trip. The girls loved going in the tent to play.


This is around our campsite. The girls found lots of little caterpillars. We called them inch worms since that is what they were doing. We also found this little green grass hopper/cricket thing on our cooler. It was so little.


We, of course, went on a hike. It was a short one because C had hurt his back, but we had to go and see the twin redwoods. We saw wild berries on our hike. They looked SO good.

CK is becoming quite the little photographer. She took this picture of me and C.


On our last morning we woke up to beautiful fog. It was cool, quiet...so peaceful.

Oh, they would love it. Go. Our girls were 18 months and 34 months when we took them on their first camping trip.
