This weekend we headed down to Big Basin with most of Maile’s class for a family camping trip. As far as camping goes it was pretty easy going – we stayed in small cabins and there were nice, clean bathrooms – but it was just enough to whet the appetite and we had a ton of fun.
Including siblings there were about 30 kids there – so lots of playmates for Maile. They ran all over the camp ground, exploring, playing. We hiked to a small waterfall and had a great picnic lunch. We slept in sleeping bags and even though it was cold and rainy for the first night and early morning, we survived! Lauren was a trooper as well, although the rain and mud made it a little frustrating for her – not quite as much freedom moving around as she would like at this age.
There was no cell reception at all, so the phones were put away – hence not a ton of pictures to share (although I did sneak it out to take some video and pictures when we were doing S’mores around the fire 🙂
The only family picture from the trip - at In-N-Out on the way down 🙂
Mommy and Lauren survived the night - although Lauren was a little confused as to where we were I think...
Daddy taught Maile the fine art of s'more making!
Maile was VERY focused on her marshmellow – she wanted to make sure it didn’t burn!
A full day in and still a little bit confused...
There's a marshmellow in there along with those fingers... Yummy!
