Feeling Beachy

Well the Schlenkers have a camper...yes, you read that correctly. We are officially a camping type of family. This past weekend (after 2 doctors appointments) we headed out on our first camping trip. And of course, we hit up the beach!

The trip that is suppose to take 5 hours, took 6 and a half. We had to make a few stops along the way:
Elly K also figured out how to work the camera on my phone...I think. This is a picture I found after getting my phone back from her:
When we got to the camp site it was still raining but the view was great:

Since there is no crib in the camper and really no space for a pack-n-play, I got to sleep with EK. I took this before daylight. Yes, I am happy to be her pillow if she will just sleep a little longer:

It was quite chilly the next morning, due to a cold front, so we played around the camp ground till it was nap time. Here is she mastering the beach chair:



After she woke up from a nice nap, we were ready to hit the beach. She loved her oversize "crib":
She seemed to love the beach! Not a lot of smiles, since there was work to be done...DIGGING:





After about 2 hours on the beach, it was time to go. She even had a mini-meltdown for us:

After the beach, we had a bath and a much needed nap! Then we found some food and by then it was time for bed (with mommy again).

Our trip was a short one since this was our first official camping trip. We didn't want to push it too much. 
So the next morning, we packed up and headed home:

EK even got in on the action and helped pack too:
So overall, we had a pretty good trip and we are already trying to decide where we will end up next time!!
