I spent a good part of the day Friday packing and prepping for our big adventure and we ended up hauling an entire pick up truck load of stuff with us for a one night stay. The weather out here can be so fickle that you just never know if you will need shorts or your winter jacket. I packed alot of things we didn't need and forgot to pack a lot of things we could have used but at least I know for next time.
One of the main reasons this particular camp site was chosen was for the prime ocean diving right in front of it. Part of our gang went out spearfishing/diving and came home with some really nice fish and Emily M got a really nice abalone. While the fisher folk were out doing their thing Emily H and I stayed at camp and managed to keep the girls entertained, fed and most importantly kept the fire going. I really wish I would have been able to find the camera early in to our adventure so that I could have captured Avrie refusing the marshmallows that Emily kept making for her. 5th times a charm I guess!
Bedtime was less than great, Piper who is usually out by 7 did not want anything to do with sleeping in a tent and well, she didn't seem real happy with the camping experience all together. She was up most of the night, crying in our tent and I'm sure annoying fellow campers but oh well that's the way it goes I guess. Looking back on it I think maybe 16 months might be just a little to young for camping. Either way I'm glad to be able to say that my girls and I had our first camping adventure EVER together. Just wish I would have been able to find the camera....
Morgan and I are already talking about finding a sitter for the girls for a weekend so we can go back and just sit back, relax and enjoy. It was so great to fall asleep listening to the waves crashing and the "church bells" ringing, in between the cries of Piper anyway. I hope we are able to get back there soon but for now I'm just looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight!
