Family Camping

We went camping at Grayton Beach State Park. Its a dune reserve, with a private white sandy beach, short kid friendly hikes, and great camp sites. And lots of room for treasure hunting...these are Marin's first treasures to find

The "Mysterious" trail (named by Marin)

She really does like camping...
This was our first time to take two kids camping. We really do enjoy camping and didn't know how it would go with a 6 month old and two small tents. We started the night with Todd and Marin in one tent and Owen and Mommy in the other, and then around 1am Marin wanted to switch into my tent. At some point in the night Mommy, Marin and Owen were all in the same sleeping bag... boy let me just tell you that's warm (but not very comfortable). The tent with three was probably about 95 degrees and when Todd opened the door in the morning a waft of steam hit him in the face. Well now we know, whoever gets to sleep with the kids gets to be warm.
