Camping @ Steamboat, CO

This past weekend, we went for our first family camping trip up to Steamboat, CO! Back when Chris and I first moved to CO, we went camping in Steamboat at this cool secluded spot in the mountains. We found the exact same spot, and it was so special to return with William and Nora! The campsite is really close to a natural hot springs pool that we visited as well.



William found a stick!



Grilled organic hot dogs for dinner!



Daddy's little helper!



Doing his thing like a real camping Colorado boy!



Gorgeous sunset trough the trees and mountains.



The campfire is the highlight of any camping trip! William really enjoyed his first campfire and was very safe and responsible.



Roasting marshmallows! We had talked about this yummy treat all week. We ate them a la carte and made s'mores as well.



After dinner and s'mores it was time for bed. William was also looking forward to sleeping in a tent for the first time. He was such a great boy. We read several stories and cuddled in the tent until William fell asleep. Nora was so sweet and stayed in the tent too.








Brushing teeth the next morning after a great night's sleep in the tent. William slept soundlessly all night and really enjoyed being outdoors.




Breakfast time! We lit a morning campfire and fired up the grill to make breakfast- grilled bacon, fried eggs, and fresh fruits and vegetables!

William is getting so tall, I need to wear heels all the time- story of my life ;)



Happy Camper!



Here is William modeling his citronella bracelet. We all wore them to keep the bugs away.



Time to pack up the tent! We had a blast camping and spending time together as a family, away from cell phones, computers, and work. It was so refreshing and relaxing. We found a new family summer activity!



He got some dirt on his face, hands, and just about everywhere else! Good thing we hit up the hot springs again before going back to Boulder.
