Camping weekend at Lake Welllington

Albert was always into camping, real camping. Not like the kind I grew up doing, RV parked on a slab. He bought me all the gear and we did it many years but have realized we night have to find a happy medium when we have kids. Over the past few years we have been "car" camping...we have a huge SUV we load up with tons of gear and the dogs. It is this type of camping we are looking forward to sharing with the kids.


With that said, we decided it was time for Zack first trip. He started out by helping me check out all the gear and then decided what food he wanted to take. (right)

Here he is setting up the tent with dad. Might be the first time the
tent has been built with out a single cuss word...






Zack had a great time exploring (eating) new things, pine cones, rocks, etc

We decided it was a bit cold at night so
we made a bed in the back of the truck,
and what boy wouldn't think that was cold to sleep in a truck. Outside he got to play with a big truck, which made him very happy.




We went for a family hike up to this cool water fall,

Casey, Irene, Ryan and Caden showed us the way...



Little man, like dad...The are starting to act alike.

Zack hasn't realized the is not a big as the big kids
and tries his best to keep up...







Zack's first camp fire with mommy!
