Camping at "The Land"

We took the kids camping this weekend at "The Land" for two nights. We all had tons of fun being outdoors enjoying the beautiful mountains.
Taylor, Emily and Isaac were all so excited to go camping, it's all they talked about all week. The favorite parts of the weekend were: Sleeping in the tent, making S'mores, hiking, riding motorcyles, catching toads, shooting at targets, watching for shooting stars, and getting filthy and dirty!
Isaac was pretty good, although he had a rough time walking on all the rocks, pinecones etc.. He would not take any naps, but managed to behave okay anyway.









Great Grandma Shields came with us, she is amazing to still be camping at age 82! She is so much fun to have around, always playing games with the kids and being so sweet to everyone.









Taylor was in heaven eating junk food, drinking soda, and staying up really late. He told us he wished he could live there and never take a shower again.









This is the gorgeous view from the point off the edge of the hill. It was a warm, sunny weekend.















Isaac thinks he is big stuff sitting in this chair alone. He insists on being independent and doing things by himself.
Everyone came home smelly, happy and exhausted, it was a successful campout.

Looks like you had fun. I am impressed that your grandma went too! I love the names kids call things, Little Hema always says if he falls on dirt that her "fell to the Earth."

No head injuries/throwing up? You guys weren't really roughing it were you?
