We went camping for the first time as a family. We drove up to Los Padres Mountains for the weekend, and it was lots of fun. The girls had a blast exploring, but we found out that they do NOT like bugs, or pit toilets. They would scream like banshees whenever a bug would land on them, and every time Kat had to go to the bathroom she would gag and throw-up. Once she combined the two, and she screamed as she threw up on a bug in the bathroom. But besides that it really was a great trip.

 Nick had fun teaching the girls all the camping skills he gained from camping with his dad.

 One of the reasons we picked this camping spot is that it was rated really high for this time of year. The wild flowers were so beautiful, and the girls had lots of fun picking them.

 I felt like we were in the sound of music.

Just because.
