Camping

We discovered our new favorite campground this month and the best news is that it is very close to home! This was Dallin's first overnight camping, so a new tent was needed to accomodate our growing family.
The kids enjoy sitting around the fire telling ghost stories or exploring trails around our campsite when we go camping. While we were putting up our tent this camping trip, Ashleigh came running back into our campsite and said she just saw a raccoon in the woods. When we asked her to tell us more about this, she said, "Well, it was either a raccoon or a deer." That's the problem with living in a city - our children's only exposure to animals is at the zoo and there aren't raccoons or deer there!
Nothing beats chocolate for breakfast! No wonder they love camping so much!

Dallin's fitted sleeping bag worked like a charm. It got colder than we expected in the early morning, but Dallin slept through it in his cozy bag. He's a natural camper! He loves the outdoors and doesn't mind the bugs.
