First Family Camping Trip

OH, what fun! We had our first camping trip on friday night since I was 8 months prego with Kobe, yes, about 5 years! It went extremely well despite the fact that it rained, troy and I were both impressed and can't wait until the next camping trip! We were actually bummed that we had only reserved one night (to be safe), I think we all would have gladly stayed for a second night. We went to interstate State park - which is one of the most beautiful parks, right along the st croix river, and right next to Taylors Falls. We participated in a "pothole tour" and a Junior naturalist program where we learned all about frogs and got to make a frog mask. There are a few things we learned that is different camping with kids (this is for you jenni):

1. You can never pack enough baby wipes

2. Pack major hand sanitizer

3. Dirt is the best toy ever

4. Don't bring anything you cannot spray down or wash
