After we had so much fun camping in Helen last fall, we were waiting all winter for the warm weather to hit so we could go camping! It usually gets super hot here by the end of May so we planned to go in early May. The day after our reservations were made, we checked the weather and saw that it was supposed to rain on our second night! I tried so hard to get out of the reservations, but they were sticklers! Nothing worse than camping in the rain! So, we decided to just go for one night.
We arrived and this was our campsite!! Isn't it beautiful?
Berkeley was in the middle of potty training, so we just brought her potty with us and there were no accidents- yay!
Roasting marshmallows by the fire with the best view ever!
Mommy making the tin foil dinners!
The girls love camping!
Our friends thankfully let us borrow their canopy, and we were glad we had it because it rained all night long! And it was loud and there was some dripping in our tent. We did not sleep well at all... The next day after an amazing breakfast of pancakes, sausages and eggs, we went for a walk. We decided it would be fun to walk along the beach back to our campsite... let's just say that was not the best decision.
It got a little scary, and we may have gotten almost trapped a few times, but we made it! We were filthy, but we made it! And Cheyenne must have thought we were going to die or something, because she was super proud of her dad for protecting her against the bears and bringing her back to her campsite safely. She kept saying little things like, "my daddy keeps us safe." Or "All the bears and snakes are scared of my daddy." It was pretty cute.
After our little adventure, we were all dirty and really wet and really tired from not sleeping well, so we waited for a break in the rain, then packed all our wet camping stuff up and headed home. It wasn't perfect, but we had fun and the campsite was beautiful even if it was wetter and shorter than what we had hoped for!
This camping trip was a sign for our summer!! It has rained almost everyday!! CRAZY!!
