Camping is a funny thing. Here we spend our days earning money to have roof over our heads and then we decided that we want to spend more money to pack up food and gear and sleep out in the middle of the woods.
Well regardless of the irony, Mike and I both like camping. There is just something about seeing 100 times more stars then you can see from your house, the fresh mountain air, and sitting around a camp fire that makes all the preparation worth it.
We went camping with Mike’s brother Daniel and his son Benji, Mike’s brother Ryan and his wife Tara and two daughters Mia who is almost 3 and Tayen who is 8 months. We also had our friend Terrance from work and his Wife Holly and two sons.
We had a blast. We rode ATV, cooked awesome food and made smores and banana boats around the campfire. It was Sophie’s first camping trip and she did very well. Terrence and Holly camp a lot with their family so they were well prepared with a outdoor baby playpen with a piece of outdoor carpeting.
Let me tell you there are not many places to put your non-walker down while camping. My arms were grateful for the break and Sophie was grateful to get down.
While out on the ATV trails the first day Daniel got stuck in the mud and we had to use one of the other ATV’s to pull him out.
In the process, Mike’s only pair of pants got covered in mud from the knees down.
As you can see from the picture, it didn’t seem to bother him at all.
We went on a couple of nice rides while we were there for the weekend. We definitely want to go camping there again. On our rides we found even better camp site that we would go to next time.
I thought this was funny. Sophie was so over the hat.
