We joined our ward for a campout at Ohiopyle State Park. This was Elsa's first camping trip and I was a little nervous about taking her, but lots of other families had lots of little ones going so I knew it would be fun for her and us.
The first thing we did when we got there was join a group that were at the natural water slides.
E absolutely loved it and didn't care that it was cold.
When I made this towel for E, I never imagined Alex would get some use out of it as well!
Alex went down this scary natural water slide...it was hard to watch-didn't want to end up in the ER!
Back at camp, E had fun running around with some of the other kids...

soaking herself
Elsa didn't nap at all that day (can't blame her with all the excitement going on) and didn't go to sleep till almost 10 that night. It rained hard all night and she did not sleep well. She woke up at 5 and we were all pretty wet. I wasn't sure what to do with a 21 month old stuck in a tent at 5am while it was raining outside. Eventually, when it was late enough that I didn't feel bad if she woke others up, we ventured outside and played in the rain.
Checking out all the rain falling from the leaves
We decided to take off but stopped at Cucumber Falls to check out the waterfall. It was really pretty. Wished we could of hiked down but it was chilly, threatening rain, and a grumpy toddler.
the grumpy toddler-she wanted nothing to do with pictures.
Maybe next time!

That looks like so much fun! We've got a family reunion to go to in a couple weeks and I'm super nervous because my whole family has to sleep in the same room-less yurt. It could be a disaster!
