Weekend camping trip with a twist...

...yes, it is true there were no dinner pictures for Friday, Saturday, and tonight. Not to worry, I will fill you in :). So where did we go? Do you want to know? Yes? Then read on :) - We went to...can you guess? See the size of these trees? Amazing...we drove to see the Redwoods this weekend. So amazing. Such great energy, just wonderful beyond belief. It is a magical place.

We left Thursday afternoon and spent the night at a hotel in Grants Pass. Truth be said, I was a little worried about breakfast and having no options for the girls. That however proved out to be false :) While certainly there was no soy milk to be had, there was plenty of juice, cereal, bagels - thank you for having the label on hand :) - jam, and even peanut butter. The staff was just wonderful in finding out what the girlies can eat. Yay!!! - Next stop was in the Redwoods. Took a mini hike, and them to the campground. Our site was just across the playground so guess where the girlies went? Yup, off to the playground - so much fun. We met up with friends who came to our campsite, and Friday night dinner was...sausages off the fire, baked beans, and baguette. Dessert was...yes, I know that is a hard one to guess...s'mores. Yummy!!!

Now, let it be known to all this mother is a fair weather camper and it rained on us that night :(. So the next morning, the girls had to eat their favorite camping breakfast - bacon - inside the tent. Not so much fun, but we then went on to a great hike through the magical forest, climbed through a tree, envisioned fairies, and magic everywhere...amazing :) We got back to the camp site which was still damp, but it was no longer raining. We made a quick decision to break down the tent, pack up the car, and follow our friends to a hotel in Bandon on the Oregon coast. Ahhh, did I mention that I am a fair weather camper ;) - yes, that is what we did. We booked a room, and off we drove to Bandon, We met our friends at the hotel, and went out for dinner in Bandon. A table for four girls, and a table for four adults. We all had so much fun - the girls sat side by side with their friends who ate foods neither of our girls can eat. Our girls shared a hamburger and fries :) -> Saturday night dinner. Above I will post a picture :) - breakfast this morning was much the same as on Friday. We checked on the safe items which left the girls with a bagel, sausage, fruit, and cereal. We brought our Silk Soy Milk, and a box of Nesquick chocolate - that was first try and such a hit - voila breakfast was on. Again, our girls sat side by side with their friends who drank "Kuhmilch", ate cake, but it all was a non-issue. Everyone was just excited to be together and have fun :))) - so there is o e more picture from Bandon...

Oh, and dinner tonight? Sunday night dinner? You will not believe it..really..the girls ate jelly sandwiches - Alena, cannot stand peanut butter :)))

Ok - that was it our wonderful fun weekend. Thank you for reading :). Have a great week!
