Camping Fun

There's nothing like the smell of campfire to start the summer off right! We had such a fun time camping this past weekend with some good friends. By going at this time, we gave Amelie some bragging rights. She will always be able to claim that she is the youngest member of our family to go camping. Asher went when he was about 3 months, and Amelie went at 2 1/2 months. She's got him beat and was a very happy camper!
There aren't a lot of places to lay a baby at a campsite - especially one covered in poison ivy! But she fit just perfect in this chair!

Fireman Asher is very pleased to report that our fire remained only in the firepit. He was a good marshmallow roaster but was most excited just to be near a real fire!

He was also thrilled to be in a sleeping bag. If you ask him his favorite part about camping, he'll flip flop between roasting marshmallows and sleeping in the tent!

The one thing Asher would not say was his favorite part of camping was our little hike. The whole time we hiked, he talked about the mud on the trail making him "very angry." He also insisted that we should get lost in the woods.
As much fun as camping is, it is exhausting! Both kids were happy to sleep in the car while we put away all of our gear. Fun times!!
