Daddy/Daughter Camping

Alex went ahead and planned a Daddy/Daughter camping trip with two other Dads and friends of Sasha's from her pre-school class. We're trying to make sure she enjoys the outdoors and has good experiences camping since we enjoy it and hope to do more of it in the future. They picked Mt. Diablo since it was only about an hour away and if at 2 am someone melted down it wasn't too far to head home.

We bought them these little bug boxes with a magnifying glass, net and some other tools in there and they were off exploring. However, Jeff asked them all what did you find? And Eliza and Sasha said "Nothing" and Miriam responded "Can I have something to eat?" HA! I think if you ask any of them what their favorite part was they would say the S'mores and playing in the tent. They loved having a sleepover and apparently the kids slept better than the Dads who were worried about them having to "go potty" in the middle of the night or wake up freezing b/c it was still the beginning of April. They considered it a success even though the next morning it was too cold to cook breakfast and go for a little hike so they headed to a cute town nearby and got brunch. All of the girls took a LONG nap the next day and seemed happy with the adventure! Hopefully, they will be going again this summer!

Here are a few pictures of their trip:
