Camping out

Growing up in the Vallett family you learned how to camp! I don't mean just camping we did the whole hiking thing with it. Even though sometimes these hikes lead to tears we always had a fun family experiece. Counting how many mesquitos we could kill, squirrel stealing my sock with dad chasing after it, and dad reading by the camp fire are some of my fondest memories.

This is another tradition that is being passed down. As kids we each had our own pack that would hold our clothes and our sleeping bag. Dad never really made us carry much he took most of it. But he decided Gavin and Laynie needed to have this camping experience.

Gavin and Laynie each got there own back pack that included the sleeping bag, flashlight, and water bottle.

And Papa also set up a tent for them! Not exactly camping in the mountains but I think for their first time this was a great idea!


Even though they may not have made it the whole night outside I think they had a lot of fun! Thanks Papa!
