Not Eaten By Bears

We survived our first family camping trip Monday night and returned home without being eaten by bears. We did however come to understand why they don't allow two-year-olds on space ships, submarines, or other small enclosed spaces. We all had a good time despite a little rain later in the evening that confined us to the tent (it was near bed time anyway). Here's a few highlights.

Setting up the tent

Swimming at the beach (and looking at tadpoles)

Picnic Dinner (hot dogs in a lighter-fluid reduction)

Playing with fire

Toasting marshmallows

Molly's first S'more (try them with strawberries sometime!)

Hiking by a stream Tuesday Morning

Molly walked almost the whole loop herself, but kept stopping to throw sticks, rocks, and pine cones into the stream

Despite the rain, the weather was great, and the rain actually kept the mosquitoes and flies down, so who can complain.
