2013 May 3 (First Camping Trip)

Mom has been waiting to take Katie Katie camping her entire life and today we finally got to do it!  Katie's first camping trip was to El Capitan State Beach just north of Santa Barbara on the beach.  We went with Tom, Allison, and Matt Hooper.  The next day Matt and Dawn Boatman also arrived.   Reagan and Katie has the tent below set up as a little play room.

Camping cousins, Katie and Reagan.  And of course Katie took her Pink blanket with her.  Warm Blanket also was along for the trip.
