Last week the family and I were able to sneak away for our annual camping trip in Bridgeport, CA for almost 2 weeks.  Ok, so when I say camping I actually mean staying in a very very small cabin that has running water, a bathroom and a tiny kitchen, so we aren’t exactly roughing it.  We gave up the tent camping once we had Evan because it’s just easier to stay in a cabin (especially with a kid who is almost potty trained!) AND because there is a bear that likes to visit the campground almost every night.  We actually got a visit from Mr. Bear on one of the first nights we were there at 9:30 at night while we all were around the campfire.  He must have been about 16 yards away from us and didn’t make a sound!  Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture but it was definitely an experience!

We had such a blast, especially Evan!  He never lasted more than a minute outside in the dirt before having dirt covering his hands and face.  Most days he looked like a raccoon with all of the dirt on his face, and he was loving it (he’s such a boy!).  This trip, with Evan being 2 1/2 he was able to participate in more activities like fishing, which he loved until he got a fish on and then he lost interest ironically.

He loved helping his Nana cook in their trailer!

Of course we had to stop a few times at our favorite ice cream parlor, Jolly Kone.

We took a trip to the local ranch to hang out with the horses and Evan LOVED it!

For the past 2 years we have enjoyed rain showers and a thunder and lighting show in the later afternoons and evenings and this time I was able to capture the lightning!
