You took a 6 month old camping?!

Yes! We did! And it was fun! Gwen actually did really well. Better than I thought she would and I look forward to future camping trips with her. Despite the heat, we all had a good time. We took Gwen to stick her toes in the water and get a few cute pictures of her exploring the dirt and sand. Gwen and I shared the tent and Scott enjoyed sleeping in his hammock under the stars.

Scott cooked dinner, started the fire and set up everything that we needed. He loves this kinda stuff and has the gear to prove it! My favorite part was him making coffee in the morning. We brought our chemex from home and enjoyed some Branchstreet beans. Yum!

Clear Creek State Park is absolutely beautiful and I look forward to visiting again. Lots of tall pines and the Mountain Laurel flowers were in full bloom.

The entire trip I kept saying, “Next time we should bring….” Ha! I made a list of things we should bring that I didn’t think of until we got there. It’s amazing how much gear you need for a little being who’s less than 20lbs. Goodness!

Overall, family trips like this one will be happening again. Scott loves getting outdoors and I hope he enjoys doing it with me and Gwen as much as he enjoys doing it with his buddies! I’m so thankful for a creative God who made such a beautiful earth for us to enjoy whether it’s Ohio, Pennsylvania or Idaho 😉
