And it was an interesting eye opener for me to go on this trip because, as adults, we spend lots of time focusing on the negative things like, oh it's too hot, we can't do this, or it's raining, we should cancel. But just watching Tyler and Cody enjoy the trip, their ability to just ignore the fact that it's raining and concentrated on just enjoying the camping experience, was something i learned on this trip. They even think carrying the "berella"(umbrella) is a treat!! And watching them stumble around in the dark with it is so funny! :)
Anyways, i digress.
So, we got out to RMNP for a weekend camping trip with the kids. It was a nice break from the horrible heat we've had for quite a few weeks and the scattered thunderstorms scattered at the right time, so we were able to get a few hikes in as well as some REALLY long naps in the afternoon. Who would have thought that a sleeping in the tent with rain beating on the roof would be so therapeutic? :)
The kids seemed to have enjoyed it immensely and i have to say, it was the most relaxing camping trip i've been on! That kids philosophy must be working!!! :)
Here are some pictures:
Due to the fire ban, we bought a small stove which made cooking super fast!
Breakfast is ready!
Our tent survived the rain!! Yay!!!
