1st Family Camping Trip


After much talk of getting out into nature, we finally did it! We embarked on our first family camping trip to Huntington Lake in the Sierra Mountains in CA over Labor Day weekend. We wanted to get out of town before school started up again for Mason and to use all of this camping equipment we've been collecting for years now. Although I am pregnant and sleeping on the ground, in a tent, in a primitive camp ground was not exactly luxury for me, I wanted to do it with the family. It was very fun, and much cooler than Los Angeles!




Even though the water was freezing, the kids still had fun playing near it and getting their feet wet!



Nothing says camping like a lot of dirt!

Breakfast is the best meal of the day! Especially when Levi is cooking! Chef Levi is definitely a "must-have" whenever camping! He knows how to use the griddle and camp chef!




The DAY HIKE...

This was a fun 1 mile hike that we all just loved. Logan desperately wanted to walk, but once Levi let him touch every other tree we walked by, he was content to the ride.




Levi and Mason hiked in a bit more terrain part of the trail to the top of the waterfall. It was so gorgeous out there!


ALL DONE! Thank goodness for dvd players in vans! Our travel life has significantly changed for the better with the kids better entertained back there!
