Into the Wild

This weekend we decided it was a good time to introduce Olivia to camping. Our friends Jeff, Julie and their three dogs, joined us and we all had a great time. Here are the pictures to tell the story.


We found a great campsite, with beautiful views of Pikes Peak and the other Colorado Springs mountain ranges. Nearby was a group of giant boulders which we spent the day climbing on. Even Olivia got in on the action:





We took a nice hike with all four of the dogs! Olivia had the best seat in the house and asked her favorite question "That?" (meaning What's that?) until she tuckered out:


After the hike we ate dinner, made a valiant (although unsuccessful) attempt at getting a fire going, and then got ready for bed:



Olivia had no problem sleeping in the tent. She slept through the night even with her dad's snoring and her mom's worrying. Luckily this is the only bear we came across:

After a great breakfast, we drove around and enjoyed some more views and headed back home!

What a cutie! Just how many outfits did you bring camping? I could definitely get behind that!
Miss you all.
