camping trip #1

It is pretty great to be able to cross camping off our summer bucket list already!!

We were in Big Sur all weekend and it was just awesome.  We met the DeMilta's there and a whole bunch of their friends. It was great.  The weather was very cool and foggy, which was welcomed (it was over 100 degrees at home).  I must remember though to bring warmer clothes for us the next time we camp.

There were so many kids for Kekoa to play with and it was amazing to see him out of his shell.  He was so social, playing on his own, talking to the kids he didn't even know...just amazing.
He was filthy the entire time too, rolling in the dirt, sitting in the dirt to make "chocolate ice cream"...pretty great stuff since he usually avoids getting dirty.

How did Malia do you might ask?  She did so awesome...took her naps when she was supposed to, slept through the night, it was like we were at home or something.  She loved the pack n' play, and was actually upset that we weren't exiting the tent quick enough, when it was her nap time.

We just can't wait to camp again in August!!

Friday, Day 1....

Our tent spot is way back on this riverbed.

Thanks Scott for setting us all up.

Kekoa and Guido exploring.

mini people pow wow

trying out the new camping chair

me and my little man enjoying some sunshine.  We waded out to this rock, the water was waist high on Kekoa.  

This stage was endless entertainment for the kids.  Malia was having a ball with the big kids.

Kekoa couldn't wait to roast marshmallows.

Come on, can Baba have a bite?

No bite for Baba

Making mud pies all night long.

Saturday, Day 2...

We were the first family up.  Malia was up bright and early, just like at home!  I am so glad we had this portable high chair.  It was a life saver.  

We tried the backpack for Malia.  She liked it for about 1 second and then wanted out.  She did like it better when she was riding on my back.

Yay, out of the backpack!

more mudpies or volanoes

so cold

wrestling and laughing with Baba.  I love that view.

Kekoa loves baby Fiona.

Back on that stage...

Watching the big kids play baseball.

We tried a picnic dinner.  It didn't really work out too well.

Back to the table and this little girl was not happy about it.

Our campsite is right to the left.  The stage is behind the lawn.  Such an awesome camp spot.

Sunday, last day... 

Ready for my nap people, please leave the tent.

 Kekoa made a new BFF on the last morning we camped.  These two boys were joined at the hip.  The cutest part was when they were both wearing orange and the fact that the little boy can't really speak English, only Japanese!

Baby  sister is awake from her nap and ready to go. 

Some final minutes of running around on the stage...
