Jack and Ellie's first time to sleep in a tent! Jack had his own little sleeping bag, and we actually set up the Pack 'N Play for Ellie but she ended up sleeping with me most nights because it was so cold, and because I was still nursing her during the night. I love these pictures of her when she first woke up in the morning...
Jack's special "Tigger" sleeping bag...not too sure about this whole camping thing!
Early morning hot cocoa...oooh, was it cold in the mornings before the sun came over the mountains! About an hour later we were all burning hot and were pealed down to shorts and short sleeves!
Here comes the sun...
This is where Ellie spent a lot of time; this is also where she pulled up to standing for the first time!
Daddy, Papa, Ellie and Jack went exploring at the river near our campsite. (For the record this picture is #601, only about half the pictures I took over two weeks!)
FAMILY DAY HIKE:
Grandma and Papa hiking along
Icy cold mountain water...but feels good on tired feet!
Notice Jack's incredibly short hair? He got his first at-home haircut from my cousin Judy right before we all left for the campgrounds; he had never had his hair this short but it was so cute and perfect for the summer sunshine!
Grandma trying to pass down her love of river rocks to Jack.
Sadly, I somehow managed to escape this entire camping trip without a single picture of our whole extended family or any one member...it was HECTIC trying to keep the kids out of trouble and fed and clean and rested while camping; thus, my camera didn't make it out very often. (We often went for long drives for the kids' naps because the tents were SO hot and bright in the afternoon they were unbearable!) Believe it or not we were here with I believe around 14 or so relatives, all camping out together! We had a blast with everyone; one highlight was sitting around the campfire at night eating cookies (my grandmother's recipes!) and talking, as well as going to the hot springs to swim. Good memories...
