Camping Trips

We went camping twice this summer (and actually will be going again in a few weeks) Our first camping trip was to Tahoe in June, then in August we went about an hour away and camped on the Yuba River. Both places were a lot of fun.
Tahoe: Sugar Pine Point Campground

This place was beautiful, but there were bears everywhere. No, seriously there were. The day we checked in the ranger told us the night before a camper's car had crumbs in the baby car seat and the bear broke in and the door closed behind it and the bear freaked out and tore up the whole car. The first night while we were eating dinner the kids were in the woods playing and all came running out screaming that there was a bear. Sure enough a baby cub was just standing there. It wouldn't go away either. The last night we were there a few people saw a huge bear literally walking next to our tent. Freaky!!

Other then that we had a great time. We had about 11 families join us this time. It was a huge group with a lot of fun kids and we had a great time. Campfire & roasting smores! YUM!

At Lake Tahoe. That place is beautiul. The water was crystal clear (and cold!)

River Rest Resort:

The second trip was to a little RV park near Grass Valley. The acutal sites were super small and kind of trashy, but the river was amazing. The kids could jump on their rafts and ride the little rapids down to the other side all while the parents watched from our site. The dad's did some "cliff jumping" with the boys and the mom's hung out on the rafts in the sun enjoying the weather and water. It was super relaxing. Just what I needed!

I don't have many photo's from this trip, but Michelle took a bunch so hopefully I can get more on here soon.
