Camping at Barton Flats

We decided to go camping to Barton Flats this weekend. It was so fun. We brought two cars because Cameron worked for awhile on Saturday and I wanted to get there a little sooner. We brought Ali and Ashling's bikes as well as the scooter. Now remember that Ali only learned how to ride her bike a couple weeks ago. But she was riding her bike everywhere. On the dirt, up the hill, down the hill. She is now an expert bike rider. She also met a friend named Evan who was camping with his dad. The Dad, Bart, was a great skateboarder and was teaching his son to skateboard. He let Ali ride the long board sitting down. We weren't prepared for her to stand up as we forgot helmets. (Don't tell the police.) Ali played everything with Evan and thought it was really fun to have a friend. She is very social.

Ashling enjoyed camping too. She helped us set up the tent, carried all the little items from the car and rode her bike around. She was pretty good natured about the fact that her sister was playing with her friend all the time. She remembered us camping almost a full year ago and was anxious to do everything the same.


The best thing about the campground was the big tree swing. The girls loved to swing on it and spent a lot of time on the swing.

Camping was so relaxing. I guess the girls are really at good ages to take camping and we are planning on going a lot more this summer.
