Easton's First Campout!

We took Easton on his first camping trip this week! I was a little nervous to take him but im happy to report that he did great! We had a fabulous time relaxing in the mountains with our little man ♥
Hopefully the next time we go camping, we will be able to do it in style..(with our little retro trailer! ;0) Here is Matt trying to stuff the air mattress into our little tent (i bet him a five minute back scratch that he couldnt do it ;0)
but luckily he managed to cram it in which meant we didnt have to sleep on the hard ground..thank goodness! Easton was a champ, he loves being outside and he was content to hang out with us. Here he is on the changing table picnic table ;0)
(giving mommy a 'bump') heheh ;0)
We went on quite a few hikes while we were up there...we ended up going to the McCloud River in Northern Ca. It was beautiful there and we got to see quite a few waterfalls.
Matt was nice enough to watch Easton while i fished a little..whata guy ;0)
Easton liked to be carried around on our hikes...here he is in his various carriers :0)
What a cutie pie! ♥
Our little family ♥
I caught this tiny lizard on one of our hikes...
...Say hello to my little friend ;0)
For dinner that night we cooked up some hobo packs (a camping tradition of ours.) They were delish!
and its not a camping trip unless you roast marshmallows on the fire and make some smores! ;0) While Easton was sleeping we layed in the bed of the truck and watched the shooting stars...the night sky is so beautiful in the mountains ♥ It got pretty cold at night but Easton was cozy sleeping in between us all bundled up..he woke up a couple times to eat but other than that, he slept great (so the other campers didnt have to hate us! ;0) The next morning we made a fire, ate breakfast and hung out with our sweet little boy ♥
Then we packed up our camp and hit the road. We stopped at Burney Falls on the way home..SO pretty!
love this picture of my boys ♥
I look forward to the many adventures we will have camping as a family ♥

  5. You guys are so brave but it looks like it turned out so wonderfully!! Look how darling Easton is! You guys make camping look EASY! hehe!
    I loved the picture of the mattress halfway into the tent, we had a similar experience last summer and I was SO happy when my husband managed to shove it in the door and get it settled LOL!
