We just got back from a camping trip and it was WONDERFUL! Yes, the ENTIRE family. . .Braner Party of 7 went camping. We loved it! I want to make a habit of this! We had so much fun! It was SO cold (hovering around freezing), but what memories!
We met some friends (fairly new friends) at the campground yesterday around lunch and just set up camp and explored and hung out all day. After dinner and s'mores, we headed to bed. Maggie and Gabby had a tent (and ended up in the same sleeping bag because Gabby was freezing). Hays and Tiki and Dax had the boys tent and they did great. . .not too much laughter or goofing off at all. I was very proud of them. Then Andy and I had a tent. . .kind of brought back memories from our first 74 days of marriage that we spent in a tent. . .much better, though!
Today we hiked up to this waterfall. . .a pretty big hike for five littles and Gabby got the "trooper" award! She did super! Dax was not happy the ENTIRE way up (see pictures below), but he was so excited once we got there and I think he ran the entire way down! I'm so proud of my kiddos!
So, I hope to do this every Labor Day! I want to become a camping family!!!! Maybe we'll even start asking for camping equipment for birthdays and Christmas! I think Andy even has his eye on a pop up!!!
