Camping Adventures

Thursday & Friday

May 30th & 31st, 2013

 

Brody loves camping, hes constanly asking to go! Ian has the week off for summer so we packed up and went. We are lucky to live to close to a forest, only about a 30 minute drive to get to this particular place. This was also Kinsley's first camping experience!

 

 

She was so cute! When I first brought her out of the car she couldn't stop looking at the trees, she was just checking it all out.

 

She loved being on the ground because she was able to put all kinds of things in her mouth! As you can see she already got who knows what in there haha. She couldn't quiet figure out how to get this long weed in there though.

 

Brody waisted absolutely no time getting dirty! The second we got there the fun began for him :)

 

He found a dried dandelion and told me it was "a wisher maker" :)

 

We found this very dried up sad looking pond, Bro had fun throwing sticks and logs into it!

 Kinsley smiling at her favorite person, Brody...he never fails to make her smile.  

 Completely and absolutely adore these two.

 

 

Ian carving our roasting sticks

 

Brody cant go camping without making s'mores...even though he only ever eats one haha. But he sure loves his one!

 Being silly!

 

 Smashing all the bugs he possibly can.

 

Kinsley waking up from a little prebed nap.

 

Looking at the stars. One thing that Arizona has is beautiful clear skies to see stars!

 

This is when things started to get freaky for Kinsley. After she woke up from her nap she acted different, she was wide eyed the whole time. Everything seemed to be so strange to her.

The tent especially freaked her out. I don't know if it was all the shadows or the noises from the animals/insects, or maybe the fact that we were all sleeping together? Whatever it was she wasn't too sure of it. She had quiet the rough night to say the least! I got a couple hours of broken sleep at the most. One mistake we made was she slept in my sleeping bag with me, not doing that again!

 



 

 

Cutie pie!

She woke up just as freaked out as she went to sleep.

 

 



 Ian switched me sleeping spots in the morning so I could catch a few hours of sleep.

Doing some exploring in the morning. 

 

Checking out a tepee someone left

 Kinsley and I took a nap while Daddy and Bro did some more exploring.

 Not quiet sure how this happened because I only saw it once it was done, but this crazy girl not only rolled over but turned completely around.

 

Talk about dirty feet!! Not sure how this happened since he always had shoes on!

 

This was one of Brody's favorites things to do, dig! He dug so many holes while we were there, what a hard working guy.

 

He also did a lot of work on our car...here he is fixing it!

 

 

 Brody and Dad brought back a headband from either exploring. Good thing since I didn't bring any ;)

 

Camping must have worn these kids out because they both crashed!! Ian and I almost didn't know what to do with both kids asleep...this never happens! I had a hard time letting Brody lay on the chair with how dirt he was...seriously look at his hands! I don't know how but he managed to always stay this dirty no matter how many times I wiped him clean!

 

 Id say this picture is a good indication of a great camping trip :)
