Camping!!!

August 31 through September 2, 2012

Jer and I decided last minute (like usual) to go camping this Labor Day weekend. We packed up the car around 5pm and headed up towards Estes Park. When we got to Estes, every thing was booked! Around 11pm we stopped to talk to a Ranger who told us that there were camp grounds that are free but they were only in certain areas. We finally found a site in Jonny Park and set up our tent by 2am! After a fitful sleep, we got up and ate breakfast. The kids discovered a great place to play on some rocky boulders in front of our camp site. They also had the wooded hill behind our camp site.

You know your husband loves you when he constructs a potty with privacy just for you! Jeremiah and I played a few games of phase 10, poker (which I smoked him!) and slap jack. We had smores on the fire, and tested out our propane cook stove. The kids got to take turns shooting at bottles with Jer's 22. It was perfect! The only thing I would have done differently is bring a rake to get all of the pine cones out from under the tent. Also, bring an air mattress. It was a very fun camping trip and definitely something we will make a tradition!
