This past weekend we went camping in Palomar Mountain!! Legit camping. I’m talking tents, sleeping bags, food by way of campfire, bring everything you could possibly need because you are 4000+ feet up in the mountains camping. There was technically a shower, but we didn’t use it. Okay, well I didn’t use it, but some people did. I felt like it was too much work. So I figured it was a better idea to go all weekend without brushing my hair, washing my hands with soap, or washing off Friday’s make-up. So when I say we went camping, we REALLY went camping!! We honestly had such an amazing time! I haven’t been camping since I was in high school. And that was camping on a lake in the dessert. Not quite too rough! But this time, it was perfect. We hiked. We fish. We went off-roading in the jeep. We drove to higher points and enjoyed the sunset. We laughed. We watched the kids experience nature at its best. One of the great things about being so high up- NO SERVICE! We were off the grid. Since no one got cell service, we hardly ever knew where our phones were. The pictures are limited and totally candid. We tried to get them to pose, but getting 8 kids (including a baby who cried NOT ONCE, and slept almost all the way through the night BOTH nights!) to look in the same direction at the same time was a near miss every time!! Thanks Sargent’s, Deneau’s, and Sievers for an AWESOME first camping trip!
