First trip out...

... in our new tent trailer!!!

We had been wanting one for a while now! We really enjoy camping and being outdoors, but tent camping is getting a little old and annoying with kids. We were so exited when the opportunity to buy one came up. We decided to take it out while Grandpa and Grandma were here and we had a great time!!! After our fun ride in Felton, we drove to beautiful Capitola and set up camp at New Brighton State Beach.
Ryan and Austin were soooooo excited, but were upset that they didn't get to sleep on the big bed since Grandpa and Grandma were visiting. Next time!!!Austin collected pine cones... ...while Ryan rolled around in the grass!!!

After setting up camp, we walked down the trail that had been nearly wiped out by rain and mudslides...

...to the beautiful beach!!! When we got to the beach, there were all these cool little huts people had built with drift wood! Justin and the boys immediately headed down the beach! Ben, Patti and I followed behind and tried to catch up to them! Ryan wanted his shoes off ASAP so he could run from the waves. Austin would not let go of Justin's hand and was definitely reluctant to get his feet anywhere near that water. We had an amazing time! Trying to keep Patti warm was difficult, but we managed! We can't wait for more trips out in our new tent trailer!!!
