Overcast but warm on the first day. The girls are always excited about the beach.

Playing peekaboo with the sun and my floppy. Sadly, the sun and my face don’t get along.

Our camp site is right up there.

After trying many camping recipes, this is the kids’ favorite…Tacos in a bag! Hubby loves it, too.

1. They get to splurge on chips (some are crushed inside and others are for scooping).

2. The clean up is super easy!

Mama enjoyed her taco soup… Although it sure wasn’t cold enough for soup!

Not a bad way to end the day.

I had to laugh at this picture. We asked the girls to go in the tent and unzip all the “windows” for fresh air. Only a girl would make gigantic bows out of the “drapery”.

Another camping tradition… hot chocolate in the morning.

We managed to squeeze in a quick camping trip to South Carlsbad State Beach this weekend. This was our second year at this location and we keep coming back for the AMAZING ocean views. Well, that and the CLEANEST campground facilities a girl could ask for. The bathrooms have flush toilets, mirrors, nice showers, and an electric outlet, y’all!

Normally, flush toilets would be a luxury in and of itself, but it’s also wonderful to be able to get cleaned up after a fun (and very sandy) day at the beach! I was especially grateful for this because we had our final adoption interview the next day. It worked out great that we could camp only a few minutes away from our adoption agency. Thank you, LORD!

YAY for making new camping memories and YAY for moving right along in our adoption process!
