Camping Fun

This summer, we were able to take a couple of smaller camping trips with our kids . . . WHAT A BLAST!!! Our kids are at a perfect age to be able to handle a couple of nights out in the tent, and they really enjoyed all of the fun that came along with being in the great outdoors. The first trip was to Dos Picos up near Ramona, great family campsite, with running water, and warm showers and a family bathroom to boot. We had a great walk back site, that gave the kids tons of room to run and play while we were making meals. There were also some nice trails, a pond, and a kids playground to be enjoyed. The kids' and our favorite part of this trip were playing games and enjoying warm drinks by the fire.



Then our second trip was much closer to home, the kids and I went early to set up and then Lanny met us after work at Carlsbad State Beach. This was great, as it was close enough to a lot of our family, that they were able to stop by for some portion of our stay.
The kids were able to get an impromptu surf lesson from their uncle Tanner, and loved it!!! Both kids were up for the adventure, holding on as their uncle helped them get over the waves and then listening to his instruction as they took the waves back in, both kids were able to stand up and were so proud of themselves. Then we had a family dinner before everyone else headed home for the evening. Great family, great fun!!!
