We went on a little camping trip to June Lake. We had such a fun & refreshing time just checking out & spending time with some wonderful people. This was your first long road trip (8 hours w/ stops) & you did so great! You slept pretty much the entire time we were in the car & ate strawberries the rest of the time. The days were in the 80's & the nights were in the 40's so it got pretty cold in our little tent. You did not sleep great because you were in your pack-n-play as well as your little body was cold. You ended up in our bed every night so mommy did not get much sleep. The great thing was I didn't have anything to do the next day except relax.
You really enjoyed playing in the dirt & picking up rocks. That was a hard one for me to come to grips with...I kept wanting to wipe your face & hands. After the first day I did a lot better, you just got a wipe down each night before bed. You also had fun playing with the other kids that were there, you think you are so much older than you really are!!
The very first night we were there we had a bear encounter so that was exciting. The bear was looking right at daddy & I from about 10 feet away. All while you slept inside the tent, I for sure went into protection mode. He did not do anything but stare at us & then he continued to make nightly visits trying to find something we might have forgotten to put away.
While we were there we went to the lake, which was beautiful. The water was a little too cold for you but still nice to play on the shore with your shovel. Another day we went on a long hike around where we could see the pretty scenery & visit the downtown area. Dad did some fishing & caught us dinner for one of the nights. One day we went fishing with everyone & where we were there was some snow. This was your first experience with snow & you loved it. Of course because it is like ice! The first thing you did was touch it & put it right in your mouth. It will be fun to take you this winter to the snow & you can play in it.
Dad & I were also able to take out the ATV's & explore the area. That was a lot of fun, it brought me back to my childhood when I used to do that with my family. The rest of the time we just sat around & played games, read magazines/books, chatted & enjoyed each others company.
This is our PACKED car...I promise you are in there somewhere!
Already in the dirt as soon as we got there...
Good thing we got this warning!
