Family Vacation Palisades, Day one!

I think sometimes it’s easy to forget–So much work and preparation goes into family vacations! But they are so much fun! Day by day breakdowns of our family vacation!

Toph loves camping food, so he did most of the planning shopping for our food…

Here he is with the boys at the store, with one of the three carts of food/supplies

After the drive down, we began to set up camp and settle in. Naturally the boys felt like they needed their shirts off, to settle in! 😉

Love camping when there is no distractions, like electronics, we spend lots of time doing other things, like princess puzzles:

Cooking and eating dinner (Tinfoil dinners) And Dessert (Woof-em Sticks) is always more fun while camping, even when it is in the rain!
