Camping Trip! Or WAS it?






Hmmmm, if you go for one day, and end up leaving the camp site at 9:30 at night... can you still call that "camping?" We went up to Mt. Laguna to a group camp site that some friends had reserved for the weekend. We packed all our camping stuff, and got up there Sat. morning. Set up camp, and headed on on a few hikes. We had a great time investigating everything. We brought Chammy, knew she would love it, but didn't know that another camper in the group had a severe fear of dogs. Well, I think we managed to allow Chammy to enjoy herself, while being respectful of our friend. (I hope.) The four kids had a great time playing together. It was night time that was impossible! We've tried (and failed) once before, and thought we'd try it again. The boys just wont go to sleep in the tent, with our without us in there with them. Too many new experiences, shadows, noises, exhaustion, etc.. Basically the endless whining caused us to pack up at night and leave. I took the boys back up the next day, thinking I'd take them hiking again, but they were still too exhausted and proceeded to cry, about everything, the whole 45 minutes we were packing up the camp site. So, we loaded the car and turned around and headed home! ARGH. But, guess you don't know until you try it, right?!
