Yosemite Glamping

The Howells went glamping in Yosemite for 4 nights, with 3 kids under the age of 3.  The kids ate dirt, we crammed into a small trailer, and spent our days freely roaming the park with no schedule, no rules, just fresh air.  The babes are all happy campers and I know we are lucky for that.  We hiked and biked and fed squirrels.  (sorry wildlife, but you like crackers.)

One of my favorite parts of camping is cooking food.  I love the challenge of making something yummy and unexpected for camping.  This time we made pie!  over the fire!  We grilled pizzas and drank our own homemade Pinot Noir, the Patience Potion.  (seeing if the name sticks, good one Jen!)

Quinn and Jade really began to connect on this trip.  They (Jade) insisted on holding hands and if Quinn peed in the dirt, so did Jade.  It was really lovely watching the cousins spend time together and move beyond parallel play.

I want to visit Yosemite again.  In the fall, winter, spring, and summer.  It is an amazing place.
