We took the boys camping in early August. It's only the second time Kar and I have camped since we've had kids and the first time with Adler (we went the first time with Z shortly after LT turned one).
The boys absolutely loved it and I have to admit I enjoyed it more than I had expected. I got to introduce LT to throwing rocks and sticks into a river which we did together for hours while Adler napped one afternoon. The boys loved playing with dirt, rocks and sticks and they even did pretty well sleeping in the tent. LT (pictured above) wore his headlamp for a hike at 10am "just in case it gets dark."
Unfortunately we decided to cut our trip a night short (out of just two nights) after Adler burned his wrist on the portable stove. He loves to pretend he is cooking and we foolishly let him play with the stove during the day thinking it was harmless. But it wasn't so harmless when he went for it right after we'd made dinner on it. In retrospect we probably didn't need to leave early but, at the time, it seemed like the best thing to do.

The essentials: coffee gear and sippy cups.
Again with the headlamp.
Turns out that rock didn't taste so good after all.
Playing in the dirt!
