We went camping last weekend, and went on a hike to some ice caves. I loved this view (below) - you could see snow from the ice caves, flowers and green all around, and fall leaves starting to turn colors up on the mountainside. It was like all the seasons in one. So pretty!
The only part that's not so fun about taking our kids camping is getting them to sleep in the tent. And getting them to stay asleep. We ended up driving two of them around in the car to get them to sleep. Around 4 am, Katelyn woke up again, and would go back to sleep as long as I was standing up with her. Not really what I wanted to do for the rest of the night. In the morning, we had a breakfast of sausage, smoke-flavored scrambled eggs with mosquitos in them, and burnt-on-the-outside, doughy inside cinnamon rolls. Not all food tastes good when you're camping. Yep, it was me who planned the menu. And forgot a couple things, like a pan.
Thanks for the already-reserved campsite, Jones's!

yeah, I seem to remember you guys having some camping sleeping issues. all i can say is you are way tougher than all those other folks out there "roughing it" without kids.
I love your "all the seasons in one" picture! It would make a great jigsaw puzzle.
oH man!! I am sorry. It is the same for us, we refuse to go until they are able to at least lay down without screaming.
The menu sounds tasty, flies are a delicasy in some places you know.
So, that's prettier than the places we camp around here. That's awesome you forgot a pan. It wouldn't be a real camping trip if you didn't forget something. Maybe you should have taken your dutch oven, I hear John loves to cook in that.
Glad it all worked out for you (minus not sleeping) We went to the ice caves too.
I forgot camping chairs if it makes you feel any better.
