Camping…

Camping….ok maybe it was more along the lines of Glamping BUT to us it was as good as camping!

We rented a little mini cabin at Rancho Jurupa Regional Park…dead in the center of the ghetto…I mean Riverside. lol  Since a few of our friends now own trailers, and we are NOT gonna be getting one, this place was perfect. We were able to join the party (and invite our non-trailer owning friends too).

Here is our cabin. It comes with basic linens, towels, and pretty much everything you’d need. I brought our own pillows and comforters since I wasn’t exactly sure what would be there for us. It was very cute but perfect for the 4 of us!

The park has tons of stuff to do…mini golf, water splash play area, playgrounds, lakes for fishing, etc. It was super hot this weekend BUT the water park was closed since it was off season. But we kept ourselves busy~

We all arrived at different times on Friday night, so we ate dinner and then hung by the bonfire…which can be stressful with so many kids (and 2 dogs that did NOT like eachother!), most being under 5years old.

   

Late night but that didn’t stop our mini alarm clocks (aka our children!) Owen was SO excited to go fishing. So 7am when the park allows…Owen was out there with Travis…getting his trout fishing on~

  He’s a patient little guy that just LOVES fishing! I think even Travis was surprised on how in to it Owen was. Maybe he’s found his sport!?!?

The weather was actually HOT…so we didn’t stay out at the lake with Ella for long.

 

Amazingly even though we were in a strange place, Ella still stuck to her schedule. Thank goodness she napped and did the usual!

 

Then we had a little Mommy Daughter Photo sesh.

      

Great time relaxing with our friemly (friends that are like family), making memories, and loving every minute of it.

Woke bright and early the next morning to clean the cabin and head home!! Kids were racing and playing at 7am….yes 7am!! Heather was out watching big kids while I put Ella down for her morning nap…in her pack-in-play ON top of our bed (we had to sweep and clean while she slept!!) So whatever works.

 

Best part of this camping trip was that it was only 25 minutes away from out house. Was nice to get home quick…AND even better that we didn’t have work today either! AMAZING.

We’ll be back Rancho Jurupa Park…we’ll be back!!
