Mount Laguna
Olivia went her first camping this weekend.We have been talking about it for a while and she sow our sleeping bags (luckily we had 3 of them -)) ,tent and she was very excited .So I decided to arrange something ASAP and we have been on Mount*lagu*na this weekend just came back home.
Our way up there took almost 2 hours since it is 6000 feet high.She kept reading her favorite Curduro*y book that we bought from the library and fell asleep last 15 minutes of our travel.
She loved helping to set up the tent and hammering of course.When I asked her to pass me the hammer she goes"I can't .I am very using it now .I will give it to you as soon as I am done" .Then 1 min later she brings it saying"It is your turn now,you can take it" :-))
Then we had some food and went for a walk .She walked on the long logs and she wanted us to race by counting"One-two-three"
She was all dirty ,her face,nails,toes were all black.We hardly stopped her going in the tent without shoes .
At night Reha and Olivia counted the stars by laying down the picnic cover.Then Reha decided to start a camp fire.Since we hadn't bought any logs ,we first started with pine cones that we all picked up from the campsite.Then our camp neighbour gave us 2 logs.Then we ended up placing medium size log that was available there.Olivia loved it of course but it was so nice for both of us too. Around 9pm Olivia asked me to go to tent to sleep. I changed her clothes with clean and warmer ones and gave her favorite dog and bay(blanket) that I had decided to bring despite of my effort to keep them clean at home.She was so surprised and happy to see both of them there.She was nursed next to camp fire and light,under the starry sky by cuddling her dog and blanket.For a while she was pointing sky and hamming like"himm-himm-himm" that then she said "she is counting stars at the same time(while nursing):-))"
Then she fell asleep .We sat with Reha another hour or so.She woke up while we are trying to settle down in the tent and started playing with sleeping bags ,pillows etc.The last thing that remember was Reha was drifted away-I was trying to do he same and Olivia was singing and talking with Chr*stoph8r Robin :-))
Unfortunately our camera hasn't arrived yet and I am really sorry not being able to catch the moment we all of us around the camp fire !!!
