I don't think the pictures or captions can truly capture how wonderful our 3 day trip was, but I'm going to try. I was a little nervous having all 3 kids with me, this was Mae's class trip after all, but it worked out fine. Everyone had fun, no one was bored. The campsite was over the mountains along a river (with water!) only 40 minutes away. Perfect.
Henry set up his tent all by himself and lived in it all by himself. Yikes, that boy is getting old.
A view of the camping area with the class. It was hot and dry and windy. I know what you're thinking. Camping? with campfires? while the local wildfire wasn't 100% contained? Well, I was thinking the same thing. Fortunately, it all worked out just fine.
Lu lounging like a lizard (yes, like a lizard blowing bubbles).
Mae rescuing the wooden boat she made.
Enjoying the warm water and probably looking at tadpoles. There were a lot of 'em.
Same thing, different people.
Same thing, two more (little) people.
There was plenty of down time for quietly enjoying the surroundings.
And some very fun up-time (get it?!) Henry climbing.
Mae climbing.
Drawing in a that same tall tree.
One of many lizards (this one an Alligator lizard) found during the trip. We also saw frogs, a rattlesnake, ground squirrels, herons, and hawks.

All in all it was so incredibly wonderful. Easy and relaxing even. We're very lucky to part of a school that values these experiences.
