camping--

La Jara Resovier

So the Larson family went camping last weekend and had an interesting time.

Pepper is not quite old enough to take camping and have her parents enjoy it!

We arrived at our spot and enjoyed a nice little time of fishing and watching the sunset.

SO PRETTY!

Cute little mess of a girl

funny face

(great movie btw-I suggest everyone rent it-unles you don't like chick flicks)
and can you see all those hairs at the top of her head sticking up--that is where she cut her hair off this summer.

Lucas fishing--LOVE THIS PICTURE!

wish you could the fishing pole--

it looks like he is comtemplating life.

The next morning we woke (that is assuming that I slept, which I did very little of)

to a nice drizzle of rain.

We "enjoyed" it as long as I could and then packed up and headed home.

We left around 4:30 and were home the next day by noon...

short, but nice to get away for a while.

However, I found that even if you are camping for 1 night or 6, you still pack almost the same amount of stuff (yes more food and clothes), but really you pack almost the same amount.

and if anyone is interested. I have a camp packing list...I am posting it for your enjoyment.

(I also have a packing list for the sanddunes and up to denver if anyone is interested)
