Camping Trip June 2014

A couple of families in our ward decided to do another camping adventure and we all had so, so much fun!  Everything was wonderful: the weather (sunny and in the 70's), the food, and the company!

Hylie sure enjoyed being outside and getting as dirty as possible.  While Geoff and I were setting up the tent, Hylie kept gravitating towards the pile of ashes in the fire pit and playing in rocks and dirt.  She was in heaven!

Hylie also enjoyed lounging in camp chairs and literally being spoon fed by everyone!

Playgrounds are such a hit with this girl!

The beach was no disappointment, either!

Hylie started with pants on, then we rolled them up, and then her jeans were so weighed down and soaked, we just decided to let her go pants-free.

Hylie was spoiled by a bunch of the girls who made her a personal 'lake'.

We didn't get much rest that night.  The air mattress we brought didn't like to stay inflated and Hylie woke up a little before 4 in the morning.  I was able to get her back to sleep while I held her and sat on the ground.  Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep from that point on.

Geoff trying to catch a few more zzz's early in the morning.  Aren't inflatable mattresses great?

But who needs sleep when you can have S'MORES!

Hylie kept sneaking into the bag of marshmallows and eating away.  I decided to let her experience a TOASTED marshmallow, but her face let us know pretty quick she really wasn't digging that camping treat.  Ha ha!

We knew it was a successful camping adventure when Hylie was passed out minutes after getting in the car to head back home!
