first camping of the year

We utilized one of Tim’s forced vacation days to take a break from the city and go camping. We didn’t go too far, but it was still away and in the woods. We went to South Whidbey State park. The campground was nearly empty, and that was a bit of a treat. There were a couple of walks in the woods that we took, and though Kayla did great at walking most times, Tim certainly makes a great pack mule when needed. :-)

The walks in the woods were just amazingly beautiful. I’m not sure if it was the few scattered super big old growth trees, or just the nature of the trail, but we really enjoyed it. Kayla walked the whole mile for the first “hike” we did.

There was a beach we could walk down to as well. Really nice with the Olympic mountains seeming right across the water. The girls loved playing in the sand and collecting stones and such. If it weren’t for her smores obsession, Kayla may not have wanted to leave the beach. All in all it was a really nice get away weekend and makes me look forward to more camping trips this year.
