First Camping Trip

 Marc and I both grew up camping, and some of our best childhood memories are from those trips. We were so excited to start making those memories with Caleb and Karis. We took our first official camping trip to Dinosaur Valley. Caleb is super obsessed with dinosaurs right now, so seeing the tracks and all the dinosaurs was perfect.
 Setting up the tent

 Isn't that so sweet? She's becoming quite the daddy's girl!
 Seeing all the dinosaur models at Dinosaur World...was a big hit




 Digging for fossils
 Hot dogs - first meal cooked on the campfire
 In the tent...not sleeping. We did very little of that! Definitely wise to only go for 1 night our first trip. Thunder. Lightning. 2 deliriously hyper children. You get the picture :)


 Chilly morning - the kids loved getting to have another fire
 Actual dinosaur track

  A little hiking


Was a great trip!

Happy Halloween!

 Caleb is very into dinosaurs right now, so a t-rex was the only way to go this year, and Karis said she wanted to be a fairy princess. I know I'm biased, but I think they're so stinkin' cute!
