Camping in Lake Arrowhead!

Our very first camping trip with Alyssa. I thought it was going to be a nightmare but we actually had a good time. The biggest issue for me were the sleeping arrangements. Alyssa had just started sleeping at home from 930pm until 6 or 7 am in the morning and I did not want to mess this up in any way. She did wake up a few times the first night but fell into her regular pattern by night #2. We were also trying William in the big boy bed for the very first time. He still sleeps in a crib here at home. (We just haven't gotten around to moving him yet.) The first night daddy slept next to him and it took him over an hour to fall asleep because he wanted to talk and play around but he did go to sleep eventually. The second night he was so tired from camping it only took him 5 minutes to go to sleep. Briana was going to spend the night on the top bunk for the first time. So, I was concerned about her falling off the edge but she did fine.

Of course the kids ended up having a blast! We went hiking, explored Lake Arrowhead Village, and roasted marshmallows.








I thought this was a dirty face at the time.









Yep, it got worse! He just had to put his hands in the fire pit with all the ash.


They were so excited about sleeping in their "new" beds.
