Last summer we went on our first family camping trip...the kids have been begging to do it again ever since then! Our summer has been so busy that this last weekend was our first opporunity to do it! We decided to tryout a campsite this year instead of just finding a spot in the wilderness...we loved the hiking at this place, but we did decide that we missed the seclusion we had last time. Next time we will know exactly what we're looking for...always a learning experience! Anyways, we played games around the campfire and had s'mores (of course!) and we did some great hiking. Rylee brought her butterfly net on our hikes and frantically tried to catch every butterfly we passed (and there were tons!). She had a few successes and was SO excited! At one point on the hike Audree said, "Mom, you can see the prettiest things when you are in the nature!" When we came home and asked the kids what they would have changed about the camping trip they said they would have like a LONGER hike (which is surprising since they were begging to be done after a couple hours). We just had a great time hanging out together and remembered why it was so fun...hopefully we can do it again soon!
