...and Kaila's first camping trip! There were about 10 people with May birthdays, so our amazing friend Joe Hendrickson put together a campout that saw over 40 people cycle in and out over the weekend! We stayed in the group campsite at Morro Bay State park and just enjoyed being outside all day. It was even complete with a 30th celebration for me and a Cinco De Mayo Feast on Saturday night!
Celebrating the big 3-0 with a few of my amazing friends!
Kaila-Marie was an early riser! Up at 6 am, all three of us enjoyed the beautiful morning light and our little chatterbox with our morning coffee.
Hike up Cerro Alto with Aunty T and Uncle G.
Just hanging out at the campfire...Aunty Lyndal was there! Yea!
Lots and lots,...and lots of fun in the dirt. It was the good kind too, the powdery kind that blows in the air and feels so fun when you put handfuls of it on your head and let it fall down the back of your shirt...you know, that kind...tends to taste good too!
The Schmidts know how to make a party happen! Josiah initally began to go after the pinata with a branch the size of a small horse (he's a little new to the game). When that amounted to nothing more than tears of frustration, he resigned to poking it with a smaller stick. Brielle (in the tan jacket) shared Josiah's desire to poke the pinata to death, and they double teamed it.
"Really mom!?..a photo-op right when she was about to let me reach in that bag and grab a starburst?!"
"more!? more!? more!?"
There was a huge, full moon and our campsite overlooked the beautiful wetlands and hills of Morro Bay. It really was so gorgeous all weekend and I can't wait to go again.
I'm even thinking of booking a mid-week trip where Ryan can go to and from work from the site, and I can just camp out with the kiddos and whoever wants to join us. I have to take advantage of my flexible stay-at-home mom status!
Thank you again to Joe, for making it all happen!
