Camping

Last weekend Braedyn and Daddy decided to make a try at camping! We'd been talking it up for weeks and even had a little paper chain to count down the days to our camping trip. On the day of the trip we packed up the car and headed 2 miles down the road to the Carpinteria State Beach Park and Campground. We had reserved a nice spot right on the beach and got our tent setup pretty quickly. We went and played on the beach for awhile before getting our fire going and cooking up some hotdogs and marshmallows. After sitting around the fire for awhile we decided to get in the tent and get ready for bed and read some books. We got all ready and started into reading, but the darkness and all the new sounds were a little frightening for a two year old even with daddy close by. After many attempts to console him we decided to give mom a call. She drove back over to the campground and we ended up deciding to pack it in for the night for the comfort and safety of home. This made Breadyn feel a lot better and he went to sleep right away once we got home. He still remembers the trip as a fun time with a big fire and tasty hot dogs. We'll give it another try again soon.
