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.

A nice close-up of Katie and Reagan:

Eating her broccoli at dinner.  She actually really likes broccoli.  It seems like a lot of her taste preferences are coming and going at this age.  She likes something and then three months later says she doesn't.   So, she likes broccoli...for now.  Rancho Penasquitos, San Diego, California, 2012-5-1, 6:30 PM.
