Off we go into the wild blue yonder!

We took our first-ever camping trip as a family of 3! It had rained all week prior but we took our chances, and totally lucked out! It DID rain...well, sprinkle... but it was when we were already cozy in our tent for the night. In spite of sprinkles, it was the warmest I've ever been while camping! We had the foresight to plan for the rain we hoped wouldn't come, so all our firewood was covered and we had a nice toasty fire and hot chocolate and (I'm not too proud to admit) s'mores for breakfast.

Patrick prepares for cold weather with a warm hat (which we didn't need!) and a lighter (niiice).

Joe managed to wrestle away the lighter from Patrick and make the fire himself.

Joe and Patrick explored a little and chilled a lot.

Patrick enjoyed his first taste of s'mores!

S'mores for breakfast? You would. Did Patrick eat any dirt with his s'mores? Or does he just snack on sand?

It brings job to my heart that you are now blogging. But it makes to sad that your blog is so much cuter than mine and I have been blogging for awhile and I can't figure out how to make mine cute. Anyway... welcome to the world of blogging.
