Hunter's First Camping Trip

We LOVE camping.  Seriously, Cody and I use to go camping ALL the time before we had Hunter.  One year for my birthday, Cody gave me a tent, and I was absolutely thrilled!  :)  But since we have had Hunter, we have been a little nervous about taking him camping with us.  I think we were mostly worried about him being too cold, or not sleeping and waking up everyone else.  So we have waited.  But we were done waiting.  We wanted to go camping, so this last July we brought our pop-up trailer back from Utah, packed up all our stuff, and went for a trial run with our little camper.  ;)  We weren't sure where was the best place to camp, but we had an area in mind, and we drove around until we found a spot.  Cody and I prefer "dry" camping, meaning not around people and no running water.  :)  The place we found was perfect for us, right near Lake Cle Elum.

First thing Hunter does...eat some dirt!  Such a boy!

Taking in what camping is...a lot of dirt and sticks...pretty cool!

My little man thinking he is all grown up!

My favorite part about camping...breakfast!!

Vega's favorite place was under the trailer.  Silly girl!

Hunter liked breakfast, too!

Sweet, sleepy, little man!

Camping is hard work!  Down for a nap by 8:30!

We had such an amazing time on our camping trip, we didn't want to leave!  But since it was our trial run, we didn't bring enough food to stay an extra night.  We have been trying to plan more camping trips, but we have had some busy weekends, so we haven't had a chance to get back up there.  Hopefully we will be back to camping soon, now that we know our little camper loved it too!!
