Camping...Success!

Camping was definitely a success!  We had a GREAT time!  I was so worried how Bryleigh was going to do for nap time and bed time and it went fine!  She would fall asleep in her stroller for nap time and the first night at bed time, she fussed for about 15 minutes before falling asleep and the next 2 nights, she went right to sleep! 



Although for a little thunderstorm on Friday night, we had beautiful weather for camping!  We were able to take the kids to the beach area several times each day to run off some energy and cool down!



We some great visitors also!  Grandma and Grandpa Fawley, my mom and niece, Denali, and Uncle Kevin, Michelle, and Lindsey all came out to visit!

We had a little photo shoot fun because Bryleigh was getting "sleepy silly"  towards dinner time and she wouldn't stop laughing while playing with Great Grandma's hat!





And it never fails,  Christian cannot get enough of playing with Grandpa and his "tools"  when we are camping!



 But the best part of camping was the campfire and especially the s'mores!  Bryleigh experienced her first s'mroe this past weekend and I don't know if she will ever turn back now :)

Look at that face!




 We spent the majority of our time just relaxing around the fire!




 We ended the night last night by going on some nature walks and lighting off some sparklers.
Bryleigh just loved this dragonfly





We had a great time but it was glad to come home today!  I have lots of unpacking to do and the kids need to get back into their routine!  But I came to a few conclusions this weekend, 1.Bryleigh is a tomboy!  She loved getting dirty, and she even had a few face dives and she would get right back up and brush herself off and continue on playing! And 2. Its crazy to say, but it was easier camping with 2 kids then when we went with just Christian when he was a baby!

Now on to the fireworks later tonight!  Happy 4th of July!
