When camping with a toddler who is not walking...said toddler will get very very very filthy!
Our beautiful campsite. We backed up to a stream.

Look at the filthy mess of adorableness! Just call him Pigpen from Charlie Brown. :-)
Dinner burning...ahem...cooking away
Enjoying our dinner of charcoal
with a few pieces of potato and sausage here and there
Evening hike
This part of the forest had a wildfire go through it decades ago and it zapped all the roots so even though the trees are there, there is no foliage. It's ever so slightly creepy.
Do you see the deer?
Playing ring around the smokey campfire. We had to keep moving our chairs because the wind couldn't decide which way to blow!
During the night, I got horribly sick. I hadn't been feeling well earlier in the day, but chalked it up to pregnancy. In the middle of the night I got chilled and shakes and threw up several times. I finally moved and slept in the car so as not to keep waking up the boys with going in and out of the tent. Needless to say I only got an hour or two of sleep all night. We found out when we got home that I had a fever of almost 102!! Hurray for having the flu while camping. :-P
The next morning. I sat by the campfire for about 5 minutes. We had planned an entire day of hiking and boulder-seeing, and I was so sad we had to cut it short...I was just too sick to do anything.
I went back to the car and the boys made themselves breakfast.
Story of my camping experience from about 2am-when we left
Our drive back home
Imagine how different this would look if the tree had leaves!
So overall, our camping trip was kind of a fail. BUT, before I came down with the flu, I was having a blast. I told Justin I would definitely do it again if I had the opportunity.
