Camping

Yes, we went camping with a very independent toddler. Let me tell you...it was a lot of work but totally worth it. We went to a place about 25 minutes from us so not to far but far enough to get out of the "city" We went with some friends Friday afternoon. When we got there we set up camp and wanted to relax a bit but the girls had other plans. Miss.Emma was a little wander, just wanted to explore everything. Miss.June wanted to go swimming.  After we got some what set up we took the girls for a swim, what i really mean is the dads took the girls swimming. 

Emma and June LOVED the water.

 Emma could no doubt live in the water

For dinner we made tin-foil dinners, Jared had steak, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. I made Chili Cheese fries, yes you just read that right....one word AMAZING! They were a hit for everyone. Emma got to stay up way way past her bed time. We all sat around the camp fire telling stories and laughing. We also made S'moreos;; Roasted marshmallow on between a Oreo! They were also AMAZING! Camping calls for the best food/snacks ever. 

Emma got to sleep with us for the first time EVER! She did great! I did not sleep the whole night cause i kept checking on her making sure she was warm enough and that i wasn't going to roll over on her.

In the morning Jared and I made breakfast burritos for everyone. Dan and Lesli took the girls on a nice scavenger hunt while we got everything ready. 

Emma found Lesli a purple flower.

After breakfast we had some more friends come to hang out with us. They also have a little girl. They are pretty much BFF's already. 

I just love this little face. 

After a nice swim and a tasty lunch and more laughs we needed to pack the last of out things and head home. Staying up late and no nap means someone was a bit cranky!

We didnt even make it out of the park before she was OUT! I mean OUT! drool and all!

Camping with friends is seriously the best.We have made some of the best friends here in Texas. Cant wait to do it again.
