Camping

We completed our first summer camping trip. Despite the downpouring rain, we had a great time. The kids loved the beach and the hammocks. It is fun to camp in the summer because now that the kids are getting older they make friends all the time by just going to find other kids in nearby campsites. They made lots of friends and even got to hang out with a little puppy. Of course they have fun with little things. Like using the hatchet to pound stakes in the ground. Despite the torrential downpour Princess slept in her own tent for the first time and she was allowed to walk to the bathroom all by herself. She loved her little streak of independance.

Of course the hammocks were loved by all again. The kids love to play on those more than anything else. Though next time we will take them down before it rains. they never fully dried out. What good camping trip would be complete without a little wine... this is actually water, but she thought it was cool to drink out of the plastic wine glasses.
