Yesterday we drove about an hour to visit Mt. Madonna county park where several families we know were camping. They are part of a homeschool support group that we have recently joined (as we are looking into homeschooling our girls), and we had a great time getting to know them better yesterday. The kids ran around in a pack all afternoon while the adults got to sit around and chat. One thing I have enjoyed with this group is seeing Annika interact with a variety of age groups. She especially tends to gravitate toward girls who are older than her. We see the same thing at our small church, where the Sunday School class is multi-age. On a day like yesterday, it's nice to have older kids around who can watch out for the younger ones.
The kids spent a lot of time in this "fort."

We dressed for a warm day based on the weather forecast, but the campground was almost entirely shaded, so we were all a bit chilly!
The group was generous enough to invite us to stay for dinner with them, so we enjoyed some hot dogs and hamburgers before heading home. Maybe next year we'll be ready to join in on the real deal--tent camping.
