Camping

So we did our first camping trip... first ever, first as a couple, first as a family, first for McKinley. It was a momentous occasion!
Here's the three of us...

Here is our way too small tent. We will be selling this tent and buying a bigger one... much, much bigger. But it worked for the two nights we were there.

And one of McKinley the first morning. She didn't sleep great the first night, but slept like a log the second. Didn't even wake up when we unzipped the tent and moved her from our bed to hers! She was a champ the whole trip...

On Monday the three of us hiked one of the loops (The South Falls?). It ended up being a longer tripped than we had anticipated, but it was a lot of fun... Here is McKinley riding with mommy.

We stopped for a refreshing splash in the creek... I think that was the best part for her... she was mad when we packed up to keep going!

McKinley riding with Daddy... and enjoying one of the water falls! She loved the falls, she was fascinated with them.

And of course about 15 minutes before we got back to the truck... she fell asleep. : ) Is that not the sweetest face ever?

All in all it was a fabulous trip and we will totally go again. You always learn things, and we will definitely do some things differently... but we loved it and look forward to lots of family camping! My family did tons of camping when I was a kid and those are some of the fondest memories I have from my childhood. I hope McKinley has those same fond memories when she's my age.
