Fast forward 3 years. With Shane working the weekend, the 2-sleeper was perfectly suitable for a night away. Jasmine thought it was incredibly cool to have camping beds and blankies out in the woods. She spent the first hour rolling around in the tent.
We found a sweet spot by the river outside of Lake Tahoe.
These days, whether conscious or not, Zami is often found by Jasmine's side. Not raised to be naturally comfortable with children, she intrinsically understands the need to stay close to Jasmine. I'm sure the daily treats she receives from J doesn't hurt, either.
Dinner was consumed standing up in skivvies.
Digging.
Corn on the cob, an easy veggie to offer.
In the morning, Jasmine found a new friend. Actually, her new friend found us. Observing us from across the road, Emmy ventured over and felt like hanging out. She was obviously intrigued by our little family. Earlier in the morning, her father had paid us a visit and spontaneously given us a children's book, which Emmy was invited to read. Jasmine eventually convinced her to visit our little tent and play peek-a-boo.
Later in the day, we drove into Tahoe and visited J's special friend, Isla. They live in Tahoe and have access to a private beach right on the Lake. It was glorious. J and Isla made sand angels and played hard before they both started to melt down late in the afternoon. Who said 3 year olds don't need their naps? We are delighted to have seen Isla 2 weekends in a row and to be getting to know her family.

Next weekend we have our second camping trip planned with grandparents. We can hardly wait to pack up our car and hit the road!

Morning Monica - oh did this one bring back some memories!! I haven't camped at 10K' in many many years! Where we used to backpack in the Rockies 10K was about the timber line - we'd shoot for a campsite just below that (scrub oak is great for cooking fish - nothing like it actually!) As for Zami - oh yeah - they know intrinsically that the 'pups' need to be looked after - but it is really cool to see!
Wonderful weekend - just LOVE it!
hugs - aus and co.
