A few weekends ago our family and some friends of ours went
on a camping trip to Beavers Bend. The best part was how excited Olivia was
about going. She kept asking me if we were taking our tent and our food and of
course her new sleeping bag! Olivia might have been almost as excited as
Josh. Josh just loves the whole camping
experience and even though I didn’t grow up camping I can see that it will
become something we do on a regular bases. We had a great tent and we had
brought along good food so we were all set to go. We went with our friends who
have a little girl who is Olivia’s age and they are best friends. The hardest
part about the whole experience was fitting two families and all our camping
gear in our SUV. The pictures below will show how we managed it! Olivia loved
making smores over the campfire and skipping rocks in the lake. We took a hike
that mostly consisted of us walked along a road looking for the hiking trail
that we never found (haha). On our way to our campsite we saw some deer who
obviously had little fear of humans because we got some up close pictures that
I will share below. It was a great trip and I won’t lie, I had my doubt about
the whole thing but I was pleasantly surprised!

Man! I'm so behind reading all your entertaining posts. This camping trip looked like so much fun. Maybe one of these days you'll let me tag along. I'm a great camp cook. LOL
