Landen and I decided to take our kids on their first camping trip. We camped at Jolly's ranch up Springville canyon. We went on July 5th, 6th and 7th. Everyone left on the 4th so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. It was fun but kind of stressfull at times. Logan is to little to understand not to do certain things and when your camping their is a lot a little 1 year can't do. We decided to fence him in with some toys in this tent while we were preparing food or doing other things that would keep us from having our full atention on him. At first he didn't like it to well but he got used to it and had fun. 
Giving him some food to munch helped him be happy.
We took the kids to the creek to do some swimming. Once they felt how cold it was they didn't really want to do much swimming. Logan wanted out as soon as he got it. He didn't like it so much.

Andie didn't like it at first either. She liked walking in it but that was about it. She made Landen hold her hand so she wouldn't fall and get all the way wet. Playing in the water only lasted about 15 minutes but it was still fun.
The nice thing about where we were camping was there was a big play ground just around the corner. Since our kids are so small and Logan could only handle being fenced in and told no so much we took them down to the park several times. They loved going to the park.
I am totally aware of how much my kids look like orphans. I wasn't feeling well at all so I let them be dirty and let them look like no one was taking care of them. That is what camping is all about.....right?

Yes...Landen is holding lighter fluid so the fire could be huge when the camera took the picture and yes it was so hot Andie couldn't even look in that direction. Crazy parents.
Roasting marshmellows. Andie was really good at eating them
After eating all the chocolate that she could find.

We had a lot of fun for our little families first camping trip. We learned a lot too. We hopefully will be able to go again before the summer is over.
