Carpinteria Camping-Spring Break '13

We had a great weekend camping in Carpinteria this week! The girls had been looking forward to our trip for quite a while. They even built their own "campfire" in the front yard one day last week.

Grandma and Grandpa came and stayed with us the first night. We went for a walk at dusk, hunted seashells, played jump rope with seaweed, had fun with glow sticks and flash lights, and of course made s'mores by the campfire!

 

Day 2 was filled with beach and sand fun (but no pictures), kite flying, bike rides, and playing at the park.

Of course, all the fun meant a couple of meltdowns, but they were short lived.

Check out that dirty face.

We had one final morning by the fire, then we took a little hike over to see the tar pits. We left with many memories!

We love tent camping as a family!
