Our little family went on our first vacation in . . . umm. . . well, a pretty long time. Not up for a staycation, but needing a cheap-o-cation we decided on camping.
Gus was a big fan.
She wore her flannel like a champ and endured 3 days of rain with the excitement of a true toddler.
The highlights were:
- hiking on the prairie
- a flock of Canadian geese 3 campsites away (we haven't yet grasped the difference between geese and ducks but whatever)
- having the campground to ourselves
- washing dishes
- flannel
- campfires
- washing dishes
- marshmallows
- a dry tent for the first 2 nights
- teaching our kiddo how to roll down a hill (seriously, try it sometime. teaching someone how to roll. it's so much more difficult than you think!)
- washing dishes
- a really good audio book for some drives to get out of the rain
- A dry hotel room for our last night at a hotel with an indoor pool!
So, yes, camping with an almost 2 year old was so awesome. I wish we had done it earlier, but am more glad that our first experience was so great!And when in doubt - just tell your crabby kid to wash the dishes.
You're left with semi-clean dishes and a very happy little camper. :)

man that last pic really looks like you put her to work. She needs to come here and teach Jonas a thing or two. I mean what are kids for, right? HA
