Camping in April...

...Ok, we didn't truly go camping, we went yurting. We decided that we wanted to start a family tradition of camping at the coast. But our summers always seem so full, and the coast isn't the best vacation spot in the summer (when you want heat), so we decided to make it a pre-summer camping tradition...to help get us ready for summer. Some of our good friends came with us, and we had a blast. We were prepared for rain with tons of games to play in the yurt, but it ended up being a beautiful weekend and the games didn't come out once. The first day we went to the beach to play in the sand, fly kites, and blow bubbles. Then we took a hike out on a beautiful cape. Since we skipped his morning nap, Grant was ready for his afternoon nap by the time we got home. We spent the evening visiting around the campfire. The next day we went back out to the beach and basked in the SUN! It was so nice and warm. Grant's favorite pasttime of the weekend was eating dirt and sticks. Boy did we have a mess to clean up when we got home! Muddy campgrounds and crawling baby makes for a huge mess, but we had a great time anyway.
