She flew this kite for hours. Literally… hours.
We just got back from our first camping trip of this year. We are dirty, disheveled, a bit damp (rainclouds can’t seem to resist crashing a Suburble family camping trip) and tired. But we’re also very happy. We had a wonderful weekend.
I will share all of the good, the bad, (and the forgotten things… like shampoo!?!?) once I’ve organized everything and feel like I can face a slightly soggy trailer. But for now, I would just like to wish a very happy (and slightly belated) Mother’s Day to all of my peeps.
May your day be lovely. And happy. And as satisfying as getting your very first kite into the air all by yourself.
Happy Mother’s Day, gang!

So great that you had a chance to get out camping! We haven’t been in so long, but the girls used to LOVE it when they were younger. Great memories!
Tara
It was pretty fantastic, Dani. You should grab your gear and get out there again! (Though honestly, I’d say 75% of the reason we pack up the trailer and set out is because the girls have such an amazing time.)
Sarah
Happy Mother’s Day to you, too! 🙂
Tara
Thank you, Sarah! I’m so happy that you visited! 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day! My son is finally (maybe?) old enough that we might be able to do some camping. I love it, we usually do tents and sleeping bags, though! I”m so glad you had a good time!
Tara
We’re glad it went (mostly) smoothly as well. Kids are unpredictable at the best of times, but for the most part, the girls were happy campers.
I’m sure your kiddo would love camping. It’s always the sleep that gets me. Everyone must sleep (a little bit, at least) when we camp. If he sleeps well in a tent, then you’re golden!
Happy Mother’s Day to you too!

How fun! Happy mommy’s day to you, too!
Tara
Oh thank you, Kirby! I appreciate your visit!

Glad you enjoyed your first camping trip…was thinking of all the campers around here who got caught in the rain after a beautiful sunny week before. The kids don’t care about the rain though!

Thank you, Krista! It was lovely until the skies opened up on Saturday night. You’re right, though: the kids really don’t care either way. They’re happy to get wet and muddy!

Happy mother’s day to you as well. I can’ t wait to hear all the details.
Tara
I hope the post does the trip justice! 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day to you too — you brave camping woman!

Tara
Thank you, Linda! There was a bit of bravery in it, I will admit. 😉

I can relate to your story. When we had our first camping, there are lot of things we’ve forgot and just realized it when we’re on the camping site. But we still had lot of fun and it was a great week ends. I remember a friend saying “don’t worry too much of the things that you might forget because that happens to all first-time campers”.
