We decided that before it got to be too cold (ie- I am a softie) we should go camping. So, a few weekends ago we drove the bus up to Idaho City and found a spot. It was only about an hour drive and very scenic. We stopped off in Idaho City to check it out. It's a very small town with one little row of shops and a restaurant that sells really yummy pie. Needless to say, I think we'll be back...

We've only been on one other family camping trip and it wasn't really that successful. So, I had very low expectations for our trip. Which was good, because if we're being honest it was only so-so in fun level. But the scenery was beautiful and we definitely made some memories...

We had a nutritious camp dinner (hotdogs and dorritos)and then made a fire. It actually got a bit chillier than we expected and we were not prepared for that. Opps!

A few things that went wrong on our trip: Isla didn't nap that day so she was an emotional wreck and spent most of the afternoon crying (fun!), it was freezing and we didn't bring warm clothes (ie- see the picture below), Knox had to go pee at 2 in the morning and he was sleeping on the top bunk, really the list could go on but you get the picture. Family camping is no walk in the park but for some reason we keep doing it! I have no idea really.

I had planned on making pancakes but forgot the non-stick spray and spatula so we ended up packing it up and buying donuts at the gas station- memories people! All in all it was a fun night but I can't say that I'm sorry we'll have to wait until spring to do it again.
