Family Camping: Day 3

Our final day of camping was nice. This time after waking Charlotte early to go potty we were able to put her back in bed where she went back to sleep and so we could sleep longer as well. Alice said she didn't need to go and since she was wearing a pull up to be safe anyway we decided to let her keep sleeping. It was about 7:30 when Curtis and I got up and started packing up things in our tent. Nikki woke up around 8:00 and was ready for us to make breakfast of pancakes, bacon and cocoa or cider to drink. We weren't in a big hurry to leave since we didn't have to be out until 1:00 from our site but after breakfast we cleaned up and starting packing.

It was great the way the older kids really pitched in to help during this camping trip. From helping with meals to helping with dishes to helping with the girls to helping pack up our gear they did a great job and it made the camping trip that much better. Even Charlotte packed up her own suitcase and back pack without me telling her and brought it to the truck. I packed Alice's bags for her but she brought them out of the tent to the truck by herself, also without me telling her to. It was cute to see her with one backpack on her back, one being pulled on wheels with one hand and holding another smaller backpack in the other hand.

Cooking breakfast together. We were amazed at how evenly the pancakes cooked over the fire stove. I think they cooked more evenly than they do on our griddle at home.

All packed and ready to go home.


The name of our camp site.

Curtis was pretty excited that he was able to get up to 16.2 miles per gallon on this trip. It went down to 16.1 when I took the picture but he was pretty happy to get that high of a number on his truck.

On our way home.
