We spent the weekend camping in a
yurt at Cape Lookout State Park...and it was fantastic! The Mistkawi family stayed in the yurt right next to us and we enjoyed a sunny February weekend at the beach.
Nate and Chris playing at the beach. Chris looks kind of like a sand troll!
Our family portrait from the shadows on the beach. Can you tell who is who?
We had tasty appetizers before our grilled dinner.
Dan took his wooden clogs that he got many years ago to impress Patricia, since she's from Holland. We were
all impressed to see him clomping around in wooden shoes in the woods.
Me and Patricia. She is awesome, and my favorite camping buddy!
We had heart shaped brownies with a candle to celebrate my birthday this weekend. They were very tasty, and the perfect compliment to the red wine we were drinking to stay warm on the inside! Patricia made me a lovely hula-hoop as a birthday gift.
Chris, Nate, Maya, and Liv were all playing in the yurt, so we got some grown-up time around the fire. Ah, what a treat......
But then we had to drag all the kids back outside because Rocky Raccoon came right up to our campsite! He was extremely bold and got right into our garbage as we stood 5 feet away. I threw some marshmallows at him to try and scare him, but it actually just made him happy. Mmm, marshmallows! He was definitely an exciting highlight of the evening.
A wild and crazy late night round of poker. Chris and Nate took David for all he was worth. Seriously.
It wouldn't be a camping blog post without the gratuitous 'boys poking at the fire' picture. This was in the morning. Brrrrr!
After breakfast we walked down to the beach, but were met by a very angry looking ocean, and an extremely high tide. It was fun to watch, but it did freak all the kids out a bit. They hid behind a big log. What a great weekend!
