Whew! What a Weekend!

A last minute camping trip with the family can mean a lot of things, for us it meant learning how to pack better! We had to make 2 trips on the way up to Jellystone (home of Yogi Bear) because I forgot socks, and Chicken! We went camping with the Wittes and split the meals, they made 4 we made 4. Setting up the tents was fun for Lucas and what was more fun was seeing Grandpa and Grandma. He loves the outdoors and them too of course!

Sleeping the first night in 30 degree weather wasn't bad, Lucas ended up in bed with us in the morning and Bridget slept in her sleeping bag in the port-a-crib just fine!

In fact, you would have thought that nothing had changed in their lives because their morning was exactly the same Lucas greeted Bridget with a kiss and we got dressed ready for the day, like it was any other...
Saturday we went to Estes to check out the Art show and have a picnic lunch...
Lucas loved to say and play Uncle lalex and Ris (Alex and Chris) but I think Bridget had Uncle Chris wrapped around her little finger! :) It was beautiful, and sunny, and we went back to the campsite and played at the park, had dinner and then Sunday hit... and with a unanimous vote, we decided to leave after Lunch. Good thing we did because it started to rain at 3:30 (we were home by then) and it snowed on Monday and who wants to pack up camp in the snow?

These were just some random pics of beautiful Estes Park, CO. You should visit it sometime! The kids (Lucas) loved the camping experience and I think they will like it even more in August!

A story....I unzipped the tent in the morning and he says to me "Outside again? I said yes we are outside again and he said "Yessssss, Where's Grandpa?" He liked peeing on the trees and enjoyed that we didn't have to wash our hands with a sink like we do at home. He really liked that we all were in the same room (tent) at night. He only asked for Noah once and thought the dutch ovens were "eet-o" "neat-o"

I must say that camping with a 22 monther and a 6 monther were not that bad, even though they didn't take naps...and you know me Miss Scheduler it was harder for me to not be scheduled the entire time, but they kids did great.
