This past weekend we decided to head out for another camping trip. Thanks to John's 9/80 work week, he has every other Friday off. This is so advantageous for trips like this. We left Thursday early evening after work and the campground was deserted. It was so quiet, calm, and peaceful- minus our little dude who enjoyed livening things up a bit with his loud singing, rabbit chasing, and rock throwing.
Here are a few of my favorite moments:
Tyler telling stories to John

More s'mores! (Tyler's getting really good at this)
(by the way, here's my secret to "super easy, less mess s'mores." Now, nothing is like the real deal, but this way you don't try to juggle chocolate, cracker, and marshmallow, and when your dealing with an overly excited three year old- easier is the way to go!
The weather was perfect! All evening and all morning we sat by the fire to stay warm. Here we are enjoying our yummy pancakes with strawberry jam.
The campground was located on a lake and seeing as the weather was perfect, it warmed up nicely in the afternoon so we spent some time digging in the sand and splashing in the water.
Here is Tyler trying to explain to me that he wants to swim all the way out to "those red floating things."
It was no trip to Disneyland, but I wouldn't trade simple moments like this for anything in the world. My favorite part of the trip was when Tyler and I walked out into the water holding hands. Ty looked up at me with a huge grin on his face and said, "Mommy I love going to the beach with you! This is fun!"
And I have to agree.

you guys are THE BEST PARENTS! It looks like so much fun! I love Tyler's face in the picture where John is telling him stories, and John's face when Tyler is telling HIM stories. Hilarious, and so cute! You're such a sweet, happy family. I love peeking into your lives on your blog.
You guys are so fun... and brave! I don't think we'll even consider camping with the kids until they're old enough to complain about it! hahahaha...How's that for irony!
You are such a good mom. We're attempting our first family camp out this July. Still debating whether to take the 18 month old. :) Great pics!
