Last weekend we took Maddison on her first camping trip. It had been so long since we had been camping! We weren't sure how a small child would do, so we were hesitant when Maddy was smaller. 

We started off the trip by having a picnic out in front of the lake. Maddy had so much fun running around in the open field overlooking the lake. Her and her daddy raced back and forth to see who could make it to mommy first and Maddy won 99 percent of the time ;)

We picked out our camping spot and while Shane was setting everything up me and Maddy played with her chalk that we bought her from the cute little camping store. 

(Daddy drew this for us)

After everything was setup, we put Maddy in her stroller to go for a walk. By the time we got back she had fallen asleep but woke back up when we tried to move her to the tent to nap. 

We knew we wanted to roast marshmallows so when it started to get dark, we started a fire in the fire pit. 

Maddy was so intrigued by the fire. When we started roasting the marshmallows obviously she just had to hold the stick herself (daddy was right beside her).

Has roasting marshmallows ever been SO CUTE!!!? We had such a fun time but it got really cold, windy, and rainy overnight and although we were all wrapped up snug in blankets and sleeping bags, I just couldn't hang haha!!! We ended up leaving early that morning, but we can't wait to do it again!
