Camping at Terra Rose

We just got home from a very nice overnight camping trip to Terra Rose. 
This is always a favorite of ours. Unfortunately, it was too cold to sleep in our awesome tent, but we still had a great time.
It's actually way less work for me when we sleep in a cabin so I'm always a fan of cabin camping. 
We arrived in the late afternoon and while Chris and Tanner built a fire, the kids and I set out to play.

 
Camping is getting so much less stressful as our kids get older.  They are getting more independent and it's fun for us to watch them explore and play. 

Sometimes Chris and I even get to enjoy sometime together while we enjoy our kids playing together. 

 

The kids roasted hot dogs and enjoyed their traditional sodas. 

I love these shots of the kids laughing together as they make their dinner.

 

That night we roasted smores and told ghost stories. 
I think Benson's ghost story was the best and he had us laughing at how seriously he was taking it. 

I think the kids' favorite part of the night was getting to sleep in the lofts in the cabin. They were pretty excited about the sleeping arrangements. They were so cute!

We slept snuggly in the cabin and woke up toasty the next morning.

Dad made us yummy breakfast burritos the next morning and we played as the weather got warm again. Tanner built us another fire and the kids went out to explore again. 

We decided to roast a few more s'mores and enjoy the sunshine. 

Of course the kids had a great time playing on the rope swing. This swing has been bringing smiles to my kids' faces for years. 

After playing for a bit, we ate lunch and then headed home. Someday we will plan a camping trip for more than a day but I'm not quiet ready for the work that goes into that. Until then, we will keep enjoying our quick overnight trips. Until next time "Terra Rose", as always, thanks for the fun!
