Camp S'more

Most kids go to some type of summer camp and let's face it, any camps in Arizona would be indoors, and what fun is that?  But luckily Sienna and Spenser have grandparents who love to camp and just happen to live in a gorgeous part of the central coast.  After much packing (on Papa's part) of two trucks, it was time to head to the lake and begin camp set-up.  Here are Papa's helpers.


After clearing a level spot, it was time to erect the tent.  Here are our sleeping quarters.


One more thing to do before the sights can be enjoyed, set up the kitchen tent.


Here is a panoramic view of what Camp S'more looked like. 



Now that the work was done, it was time to have fun, starting with sightseeing and rock skipping-



and catch.



Let's not forget scenic walks, with stops for pictures...



As the sun sets, fire time begins.  Spenser loves this time of the day.


Playing with fire, feeling its warmth, and of course - roasting marshmallows!


As you can see, Sienna likes hers charred.  Spenser likes no blackness whatsoever, which is actually hard to achieve.



I think mommy built a perfect s'more.



And I even enjoyed one myself!

  So that's how the first night of Camp S'more ended.  After sitting around the fire the next thing to do is to go to bed, which is surprisingly early by Samour standards.  We were tucked into our beds by 10 pm, hoping that we would make it through the night without needing a trip to the bathroom.  Unfortunately there was only a one night reprieve in that area, but we all survived and fared rather well.  I've got many more pics to share, but so far blogging is a slow process.  So stay tuned and be patient, you myriad of followers out there!

I love all the camping posts and pictures. I wish someone would do all the packing for me when we go camping! That is awesome. And beautiful. Looks like you had a good break.
