Our family is most fortunate to have some good friends. Friends with whom we feel comfortable to go camping with for the weekend. I mean, there's not too many people I want to see me when I am waking up all funky looking in the early morning hours! But seriously, our little crew has been friends since the 5 year olds were between 2-6 weeks old which means they love being with their buddies. And the adults, we like each other too!

This summer we headed to a KOA campground in Petaluma, our second visit there. While it is not traditional camping, KOA makes things enjoyable, entertaining and exciting for the Little People. And that's what it's about isn't it? Making sure the kids have fun while the parents can kick back a little, catch up and relax?

This year camping meant:

Lots of s'mores.

More s'mores.

Turning into prunes in the pool.

Asking to go to the jumping pillow when not in the pool!

Breaking bread together.

Telling jokes and funny stories.

Watching happy little people have a blast running about and getting dirty.

Reading scary stories at the campfire.

Petting mama goats and newborn goats.

Chasing newborn goats.

More s'mores!
