First Camping Trip

Max's only request for Father's Day this year was that we take him camping.  

This was our first overnight try with Chance and Savannah so we picked a place close to home just in case the evening became too cold or we had any unexpected troubles.  

Max booked us a campsite at Cherry Creek Reservoir which is about fifteen minutes from our house. 

Chance and Savannah loved helping Max make a campfire. 

Max loved relaxing by the fire.  

Our first evening was wonderful.  How can you night be relaxed with your family by a camp fire. 

With our first night outdoors as a success...we headed out the next morning to explore.  

We packed our bikes full with all one would need for a day at the beach and hit the bike trails to go and swim at the reservoir.  

The kids loved spinning and playing with  Max in the water.  

Soon Savannah discovered that the muddy pools that other children had made on the beach were much warmer.  

She was  a MESS,  but sooo happy! 

Chance was too cool for the mud pools, but enjoyed himself just the same.  

We stayed one more night and then headed home early Sunday morning to enjoy the day.  I think our first camping trip was a total success!
