We're back from our last camping trip of the summer. It was short but sweet. I've always wanted to camp in Big Sur and it was just absolutely breathtaking!! A little bit of heaven on earth.
The hikes were gorgeous.
The views were spectacular. The water was sparkling in the sunshine and it took my breath away every time I saw it. Hubby and I took a beach walk (alone) and it was so peaceful and so good for my soul.
The fog covered us in a protective cloak and it felt good. This time was needed. It may have been short, but it was so good to just be together and outside enjoying one of God's beautiful masterpieces.
The boys did great this trip! Aw. What a relief. Caleb was in fine form and it was so nice after all we've been through the past couple months. He finally seems to be back to his 'mostly' happy self. He sang 'allellulia' and the abc song almost the entire time. This kid has a constant song soundtrack going off at all hours of the day and night (sings himself to sleep as well) I'm sure the entire campground go-ers enjoyed his sweet angelic voice. It melts my heart every time.
Lucas was happy as usual. Only this camping trip he was crawling. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Did I mention there were no showers at our camp sight?
one of the best parts of the trip? all of us waking up together every morning. caleb made it all night in the tent without getting upset and having to go in the car with dad. lucas slept through caleb's wakings in the night. and we all got a pretty decent night's sleep. (although being home in our bed with boys sleeping soundly in their rooms tonight is going to be nice!) but having those family cuddles on family trips?....they are certainly sweet and oh so treasured. warm bodies. babies breathing deeply next to me. feet mixed warm with hubby. caleb's snores and lucas' suckles. these are the little moments i'll always remember. car rides with favorite songs on repeat. brothers waking up sleepy eyed with excitement and extra long morning cuddles with nowhere to go or be? i'll always remember. campfire warmth. dirt and play. sticks and sand. hands and holding and hiking and walking. alone time with hubby. family time. One more trip for the memory books.
