First Camping Trip

We just got home from our first camping trip and Annaliese loved it!! We have been trying to schedule a trip for several weeks and kept getting rained out, so we finally decided to just go for it. It was a little damper than we would have liked, but the temperatures were great for camping – high 60s to low 70s.

We did end up in the shower house on Friday night because of storms that came through the area, but Annaliese seemed to think this was just part of camping. The next night she asked when we would go up to the shower house : )

She continues to not enjoy sweets very much, which we know is good, but we failed to get her to even like s’mores. So, as a family our s’mores get smaller by the person – Jonathan likes a “real” s’more, I like the graham cracker with the marshmallows and Annaliese just likes the graham cracker : )

When we asked her what her favorite part was, she basically named everything we did for the weekend - helping daddy make the fire, cooking over the fire, sleeping in the tent, playing games, and going on walks.

The one thing she specifically mentioned not liking was going to the potty so much : ) The shower house was a little distance from the camping site, so every time mommy or daddy went, we had her go with us so she could try. She thought we went too much!

Overall, we had a great time and she cannot wait to go again!
