Last weekend I took the girls camping... just me and them. It wasn't supposed to be that way. First, friends were going to join us. Then plans changed and it would be just our family (including Daddy and Ely). Then Ely hurt his paw so Daddy stayed home with him. I didn't want to cancel it since we had been looking forward to going back to Whitewater (no bugs!), so off we went. The girls played in the river while I built a fire. We went to the beach, hiked and played at the campsite. The girls kept commenting how they didn't want to go back to Kathio because of the bugs. (I don't want to either.) We decided that Whitewater should be at least once a year, maybe even twice. It was also nice to see Grammy with her friend in Rochester to break up the drive. The girls have been concerned about her (as we all have) and have been cherishing every moment they get with her.
I made fires!
Samantha was awesome at helping set up the tent. She handled it well when Sofia joined us too.
We didn't use the rain cover so this is the view we had from our "beds" in the tent the next morning.
We hiked up the bluff just like last year. I made them promise next time we would do another hike.
A found flower is okay. She didn't pick it herself.
I'm so glad we did this! It's nice to know we can do it on our own. We want more people next time though... it is more fun with more people, even though we made friends at the beach and with the campers next door!
