First camping with my daughter
on: October 15, 2017, 05:33:44 PM
We had some decent enough weather this weekend so I set up camp in the back yard and camped out with my three year old for the first time.  I got her her first "SAK", headlamp and sleeping bag for the experience.

Had hotdogs, roasted marshmallows and scary stories around the campfire and then a couple book stories by headlamp light in the tent before sleep. 

Woke up to a light rain tapping on the rain fly this morning and headed in for breakfast and coffee.  What a great night!  She's a natural camper.

haha nice! Those are good memories to have when growing up   :like:

it's funny that in the second picture it seems like she's using the last thing you'd want to give to a kid to introduce them to the knife world, a OHO Automatic knife. It's like if you caught the blade mid-opening, and that mafia-moustache/dark glasses combo makes it even more gangsta looking :rofl:

Thanks for all the replies.  I was really hoping she would have fun and she did.  So it looks like more camping is in our future!

Thanks Sync!  We live in an average neighborhood where the houses are fairly close but not right on top of each other.  This lot had the nicest back yard in the neighborhood and sold us on it :)  There's a creek about 20 yards beyond the fence  :cheers:
