I love camping

Our first camping trip of the season with our new tent trailer. I love how much more comfortable it is and just the idea of being off the floor. I love that my dishes and food is all organized and can be found easy. I love that we can play games inside if we are cold. I loved that it didn't rain when we were awake and what rain that did come was so little. I didn't love the fluff that seemed to get everywhere 'cause it looked like snow in June. I love that there is a stove inside and outside and that Ray loves to cook that much more when we're camping. I love that our bed is off limits therefore there was no sand in our bed. I love that family came out for supper for "father's day" on the Saturday. I love that Grandma has a freezer in their trailer so she could share popsicles with all of us. I love that our kids did so well on the hike and not only that, they were the ones encouraging us to keep going. I love that the kids played so well together. To say the least, we had a great time. I love that we have a few places we go to every year and the kids already have such fond memories of them all.


The hike was just about an hour and Mark was the tour guide keeping us moving...wanted little to no time at the rest stops, just enough to see the sight then keep going. Oh, he did want his picture take all along the way though. he was the best est hiker ever especially with his cool walking stick (like grandma's). many pictures were taken and thank goodness for digital camera's over half can be deleted. We counted all 283 stairs along the way. played in the beach sand building castles and at the park for a long time. There were huge tires the kids could hide inside of which was very for a long time. The big boys actually fit inside on the top side of the tire. Peek-a-boo!
The boys' played bocce for awhile and the kids tried too. I'm impressed kyla could even pick up the ball.
I LOVE CAMPING AND ALL THE COMES WITH IT!!
