Camping at Caspers

 Last weekend we snuck away for a quick camping adventure.

We went to one of our favorite local places called Caspers Wilderness Park. 

Camping is our happy place. 
I think it's good for the soul to take a break from the real world and get out into nature. 
regularly.
Plus it's super fun. 

A few months ago we bought a tent trailer (off Craigslist) which has made camping a million times easier. 
We can't tell you how much we love it!!

our little explorers 

Even the weeds are pretty.
Except stinging nettle
Oh man! OUCH!
Not pretty at all. 

He's a happy camper

This makes my heart happy 

Our first attempt at a family pic

Another big reason I loving camping is 
SMORES! 
If you haven't tried them with cinnamon graham crackers you must. 

We could sit and watch the fire all night long

Glow sticks make camping even better

We made some new friends with the people in the site next to us.
The kids could have climbed that tree all day long.

 So pretty 



These were some of the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen. 

"We're going on a bear hunt, gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We aren't scared..."
Anyone else love that book?

 so many pretty wildflowers this time of year

Oh how I love camping!
 We are counting the days until our next adventure.
