Camping in the White Mountains

This past weekend, Ken and I took Lina to one of our favorite places. We have been going camping at Russell Pond in the White Mountains for a few years now, and just could not wait until the day we would be able to bring our child.

Thankfully, the rain only came at night and we were able to spend the whole weekend outside. Lina had a blast, and did mostly well throughout the weekend. She swam in Russell Pond itself, and we took her to another popular swimming hole along the Pemi River. The water was freezing but that did not stop her from playing in it all afternoon!

I think, for the most part, Lina had fun while camping. She enjoyed roasting marshmallows (of course!) and also liked helping make the camp fire. She did great sleeping in the tent with Mama and Papa, and 24 hours of fresh air wiped her out so much that Ken and I had a relaxing Saturday morning until 8:30!

We were so happy to share camping with Lina. It truly is one of our favorite pastimes, and we hope that it will soon become one of hers too.

Here are some pictures of the weekend…

I love this picture of Lina relaxing in her bag chair and looking over the fire...
