Boy, was this fun! I'm so glad we went! Granted, I saddled Eric with most of the prep work, gathering everything we needed and loading. I packed the clothes, food, etc, and Eric took care of everything else and the loading. He was so attentive and such a dear. It ended up being quite relaxing for me, I actually had less child care, cooking, and cleaning to do, and it was nice and cool up in the mountains. Sleeping....well, sleeping on an air mattress was a nightmare. I have a hard time getting out of our regular bed that has plenty of handholds and places to pull up with, and GRAVITY to help me out. By the time I got out of the tent (which took like 5 minutes) to use the outhouse, I'd end up with some appendage cramping that took 10 minutes to work out and walk off. Good thing I only got up 4 times...
Oh, but the kids were in heaven! And I can't really describe the joy I got from watching them and watching Eric be so in charge and building the fire and just taking care of it all and all of us. We needed to get away as a family, and camping was just perfect!
And now for pictures! Or not. I thought I pulled them all off... apparently I just pulled off the one for FB...and I REALLY don't want to waddle around to find the memory card right now.

I want to take Cate camping so badly! I have no idea how to camp though. The only camping I ever did was girls camp and we were very well taken care of. What kind of food did you eat on your camp out? How did you cook it? I am also worried about Cate running away to look at something and getting lost. Did you have any trouble with that with your girls? I'm glad you had a good time!
