Camping Trip

On Father's Day, one of Adam's presents was a coupon that said we could all go on a family camping trip whenever Adam wanted. So, because Adam has had off work, we decided to go last night. It was really fun, and although I was a bit skeptical about taking a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old camping, both Ethan and Emma did great.

One of Ethan's favorite "camping" activities:

Playing with his new "Weebleville" play set that

the Cheatham family from church kindly gave to us.

Emma getting some tickles from her dad

And smooches from her mom

Ethan showing off his "Caprisun" drink

The tents:

Emma just might be our little camping girl.

She loved walking around and checking things out!

We finally pulled Ethan away from his "Weebleville" set and took off on a family hike:

Ethan leading the way:

He said, "Alright guys, follow me!"

What a kind husband/daddy! For half of the hike, Adam carried both kids

so that I wouldn't have to!

"these shoes were made for hiking..."

Adam starting a fire

After Emma went to bed, we started making s'mores

Roasting Marshmallows

And playing with "Weebleville" again by Lantern Light

And then we headed to bed because Ethan started saying,

"It's dark out, I think it's time for bed."

In the tent:

Ethan wide awake and Daddy "fast asleep"

The kids helping Adam take the tent down in the morning

Daddy's little curious helper

"what are these?"

A great family camping trip! A new, fun family tradition I think. :-)
