Camping in Woodcrest

We decided to go camping in Woodcrest (our backyard). Cesar did a great job making it special for all of Mateo's cousins. We set up camp complete with a campfire, tents, food and drinks. We were hoping this would be a great start to some real camping for Mateo but he decided that sleeping in his own bed was more appropriate. Ha! He couldn't quite figure out why someone would sleep outside when their house was right there! Campfire

Roasting hotdogs

Cesar split the kids into 2 teams and gave them each a kite. The first team to get it flying high in the air in the hands of the youngest teammate won (the prize was to eat first). Mateo's team won! He is explaining the rules to all of the kids...

Mateo took a while to catch on...Oh the sweet taste of victory! What's camping without smores?? I think this was by far Mateo's favorite part of camping.



And we couldn't forget our dear little Janeta who slept through it all!
