HP Camping June 20 - 22

We have started Summer off right! A Larson Family camping trip to HP's Little Basin. We have been going there for as long as Ed has worked at HP (a long time ). We started out with a 2 man Dome Tent, Upgraded to a bigger tent wen Colby & Nickolas arrived. We have upgraded yet again to the condo as I like to call it. This tent is great. We can stand up in it (a huge bonus). It fits all 5 of us and our junk. Adam slept in his pack and play, The boys had an air mattress and Ed and I had the Aero Bed (Just Kidding) A good idea though :) We have our air mattress too. What a great trip. HP camping has always been the boys' first camping trip. Colby & Nickolas were just 2 months old the first time we went. Adam was 3 months and 3 weeks and what a difference. He slept all night. Even slept till 7:00 a.m. one of the mornings. Had fun talking to the trees. Boy he has a lot to say.... Went for a short hike at Big Basin. Colby & Nickolas had a blast experiencing Spaghettios for the first time, riding bikes and scooters, marshmallows need I say more? Nickolas is crazy with marshmallow sticks. Ed and I enjoyed playing baseball with the boys and going to the playground. A short walk through the Redwoods was great too. We always seem to just take in the trees and mountains. Hanging on Adam's every reaction to the trip because we know we will never experience that again. We got a visit from a blue jay it must be the same one that stole Colby's Bagel a few years back. Now that was a meltdown. Funny thing is that Colby still remembers. Adam discovered his toes on this trip and is now trying to stick them in his mouth. He also enjoyed his rice cereal under the trees. He thought that was neat. Nickolas had a great time playing Power Rangers in the bushes he really entertains himself. We also had a visit from our favorite raccoon. That little thief always finds something to take from us. This year it was Adam's formula! He won't be gassy or irritable for weeks! That would have been a great got milk commercial.....he was licking the powder for days and nothing to wash it down with. HA HA So the next day we drove to town and bought some more formula and of course some ice cream too.
