We took our kids camping for the first time this weekend. It was an adventure. Maddux and Reese were in pure heaven. Dirt, bugs, sticks, rocks, pine cones, hikes, and all you can eat junk food....pure. joy.
We had a total blast...until bedtime! It took 2.5 hours of crying, whining and begging before they finally asleep. Our brand new tent leaked horribly and we got hit with a nasty storm. I ended up drenched and we got up at 1am to rearrange the tent so I was no longer laying directly under the leak.

It was totally worth every second of the awful night to watch the kids have so much fun during the day! We will definitely be doing it again soon (with a new tent).

camping = sitting on a muddy ground and eating dirty M&Ms, right?

Looks like a ton of fun! What a crazy night though, got to love camping:) I think you went to the same spot as us,we were right by the fish hatchery too. Was it called Canyon Creek?
Tarah, I'm just now catching up with blogs. Your family is beautiful. And what a fun trip to take the kiddies camping! I'm impressed. We've only been a few times as an entire family. Now, Ryan takes the older boys, but I stay home (until they get older). Anyway, hope all is well, and your running inspires me!
