Happy Campers

Coldbrook Campground.
Site 12 or bust.
People have told us we are crazy for going camping with three boys ages three and under. But people, you just sit around! It's the most low key vacation ever. Camping food, warm fires, tent naps, creek exploring, and little dirt mixed with in race cars and baseball. No where to be except in your camping chair making memories with your family. Best.

This trip Kyle started a cute tradition called "camping kiss". A kiss through tent screen. He's pretty much the best dad around.

This kid has been camping in his footy pajamas since 2012. Getting so very big. And trying to perfect those silly billy faces.

Remember when Kyle was a chimney sweep and then burnt his huge broom?! Fi-yah!

Grandpa Phil's dreams of camping with his kids and their families coming true. The most precious thing.

Poor Bennett. He took a pretty good tumble off the picnic table and smacked his face. His lip turned into a black beak. I can't remember the last time he fell asleep in my lap. It was really hard to see him in so much pain...but you better believe I soaked up the moments of holding him so close and so still.IMG_3693
And after a little cat nap he was back.

I hope I never forget this phase of Graham studiously working on golf course design.

Otter pop juice for the win!

The Chuns joined on Friday night! Thanks Aunt Jill for re-reading and re-reading and re-reading. With top-knotch voices.

If you wake up at 11am you get one giant pancake instead of a bunch of littles.

Congratulations Aunt Kirsten! You are a camper. But don't tell anybody.

One cat sighting was all it took.
Now we can go back, right?

One hike. We had a general idea of where we were going.
Remember when Phil was Moses?
IMG_3803IMG_3804First camping trip. A super cute success.IMG_3812
Happy first camping trip, Nolan!! You did so amazingly well. Camping suits you. And next year you can join in the dirt fest.

These two. Highlight of the trip. They were up for a while...then Bennett opens the tent door:
"Hey, I just need to tell you that Gwam's doin' good."
And Graham is conked out with his light off and Bennett is right in his face checking on him. 
Light on. Full blast. Right up in his brother's face. Hilarious.IMG_3847
Thank you, Underwood fam for the incredible days of camping fun and feast. 
Gosh, it was just lovely.
But only in site 12.
