Eight adults, seven children, one beach house, three tents, three days, two nights = ONE absolutely wonderful time. We spent the past few days with our friends at their company’s beach house, communing with nature and giving the children (and adults) an experience to remember.
Despite living in a place with some of the most beautiful beaches on earth, we rarely ever venture toward the ocean. We live in the middle of the island and mostly stay there, content to be landlubbers, but our time at the beach house reminded me that nature is something to be experienced and enjoyed. If not for myself, definitely for Lil’ K. Seeing the complete abandon and utter bliss on our children’s faces made it all worthwhile.
Lil’ K got to experience many firsts on this camping trip:
- Camping outside in a tent.
- Sleeping in a sleeping bag.
- Seeing a sand crab scampering across the sand at lightning speed.
- Chasing a chicken who was a persistent (yet unwanted) visitor in our outdoor eating area.
- Camp fire, s’mores!
- Swinging on a makeshift swing tied to a tree.
We were undecided at first about pulling Lil’ K out of preschool to attend this camping trip, but I am so glad we did. These are experiences and memories that she will cherish for a lifetime. As will I.
Thank you, J&M for including our family in your camping trip. We are grateful beyond words.
