It sounds like you had a wonderful time - despite sleeping on hard ground! I don't know about you, but I can tell I'm getting older when sleeping in a sleeping bag just isn't as fun as it used to be. And I feel every rock or undulation in the ground.
That being said, there is something so wonderful about being "away from it all" and kids really seem to come alive in the woods!
Glad you had a grea time!
How fun! It reminds me of when we were little! I'm glad you had a good time. I hope you have recovered! One month from tomorrow, we will be in Maryland!
It's always interesting with kids and camping. Don't you love how the kids can go without getting burned but the husbands usually can't?
Hiking is always an adventure! I'm goad Ryan brought along his "Mountain Dew" (very appropriate for the mountains); I love Lily's hiking boots; and the smores...I can almost taste them! So glad you could get away with your little family. Way to go!
