Peter loves nature. He loves to play with plants, he loves to watch birds fly, and he loves to explore. So, David and I decided to take him camping. We only stayed one night, but Peter had a blast! We drove up to Dinkey Creek, a campsite near Shaver Lake here in California. I grew up coming to Dinkey Creek Campgrounds every summer with my family, so it was easy for us to decide where we would camp. However, preparing for the trip was not so easy. There are so many things required for a family to be able to live a day without the convenience of a kitchen with a fridge, stove, oven, and microwave. But we ended up surviving. Actually we did better than survive, I think we ate pretty good :).
We arrived at the campgrounds around 11 on Friday the 15th and left at 12 on Saturday. From the moment we got there up to the minute we left, Peter had a blast! He explored everything. It is amazing how a one year old can be so easily entertained by rocks, sticks, and dirt. Peter loves water, so we took a hike over to a waterfall and let him play in the river. He had a great time. I think we may turn this into a annual family tradition :).
See the post bellow for a video of highlights from our trip.
