Ok, I've been intimidated by all the pictures from our wonderful trip to Colorado, but I'm making myself get over it. When we asked the kids what their favorite part of the trip was they said, "Camping!" so that seemed like a good place to start. We drove 45 minutes from my parents' house, and voila! we were in the mountains! Gotta love that.
My amazing Mom brought stuff for the kids to do while we set up. Eli painted himself more than the rocks, but he was happy!
Logan loved running through the "jungle" and the "forest"
We were so glad Aunt Emily could be there with us!
We couldn't have a fire, but we had to have s'mores so this was the solution. The kids didn't seem to mind one bit.
We told Ali and Logan they could either sleep in a tent or a trailer. They were adamant that they wanted to sleep in the tent, but we thought they might change their minds when they saw the trailer. They did. They were so silly and excited about it, all evening they kept asking to go change into pajamas, when really they just wanted to get in the trailer! It only took all of us about 30 minutes to calm down when it really was time to sleep, not bad all things considered!
It was a lot of work to go camping for just one night, but I think these faces show that it was well worth the effort.

Camping with kids is so much work but they remember it so fondly. Our younger girls complained they didn't get to camp as much as the older kids. We told them we had more money so they got to go to England instead. poor things.
I am SO HAPPY to see the actual pictures of some of my favorite memories of our camping trip! It really was a fun time and I was so excited to share it with them. Thanks for posting them!
