It began with a 3 night camping trip in Radium, which was some of our best camping ever!!!! Our site was great, we overlooked a little valley, and it felt like we practically didn't have neighbours (except of course the "tarp adviser", who took his own life into his hands when he wandered over to offer tarp hanging advice to the boys!).
The weather was damn near perfect, we had great friends to share it with, and cheap fire wood to burn to all hours of the night.
The biggest challenge we have with camping this year is the kids' sleeping. Doesn't matter how much we try to wear them out during the day (bike rides, hot springs, parks), it still takes them FOREVER to get to sleep. Too much excitement I suppose, too bright at bedtime, too many noises, too many things to be missing out on. We've resigned ourselves to the ole car-ride trick for Levi numerous times, and just crossing our fingers that next year will be better.
As usual camping brings bike riding, our two older ones zip along like hell on two wheels, and Levi has finally found a love for his Strider bike. It took him a bit to warm up to it, I think it's because he could run faster than he could ride when chasing his siblings. He's still slower on the bike than on two feet, but he doesn't care about chasing the big kids anymore, he IS a big kid. You should see how many
Good times were had by all.
