Girls first camping trip!!!

So... we took the girls camping. It was a lot of fun, but we only went for one night to "test the waters" and see how the girls would do. They did really well, but I was sooo glad to get away from the bugs and little critters!
Here is the check-in station.

We went on a Monday, so the campground was totally empty :) We got to pick our site, which was awesome... here it is below.. huge and surrounded by woods!

Beautiful yellow flowers.


Ava liked this little log.



The tent all set up in the perfect spot under two trees.

Our lovely tent.


The lake was right next to the campsite... the girls loved fishing, although we didn't catch anything!




Daddy found the cutest little pink and purple princess fishing poles! They were a little shorter then a normal fishing pole, but great to use... we loved them!

Ava found a huge grasshopper, she is obsessed with bugs. I convinced her to let it go... Mr. Grasshopper will live another day :)


Ava helping her sister ride the tricycle... it was soo cute!

There were 3 deer right on the side of the road... it was awesome! They just stood there and looked at us!






It was a lot of work, but like everything else with raising kids, totally worth it! We may wait a while before doing it again though :)
