We took the family camping last summer for the first time. We went to the same place that the boys go for Father and Sons. It’s a little far, but it is so beautiful.
Of course, we had to practice in the back yard first.
We found a great site that was near the little river. The water was pretty cold, but we all had so much fun wading in the water and playing in the sand.
And then of course sitting around the camp fire and roasting marshmallows is a must. It amazes me how naturally the boys take to “tending” the fire. They were constantly making sure it had enough wood, and adding sticks they collected as needed.
And lastly, it was so neat for the kids to be able to see a real owl that night. I know it’s hard to see in this picture, but it is sitting at the very top of the tallest tree. We heard it calling and saw it swoop to the ground a couple of times. And the kids had to take the opportunity to practice their owl calls to a real owl! They were so cute I could hardly stand it! We had such a great time and we can’t wait to go camping more this summer too.
