Sometime at the beginning of the year, an idea starting floating around in our Growth Group....a group social? Weekend BBQ? Beach day? No, better yet, a group a camping trip....Ok hold on there, a group camping trip? Including all the kids?!?!? Let's just say I wasn't totally sold on the idea....not that I don't want to have fun with our kids and friends, we just didn't grow up campers and it kind of overwhelmed me. Give me a hotel any day and I'll be a happy "camper" (haha). Anyhow, the date was picked, the campsite chosen, and before I knew it it was the beginning of May and we packed our car to the brim (literally) with camping gear we gathered and were on our way to Cuyamaca! Despite my initial aprehension, we had a great time. Hopefully next year I'll be a little better prepared, but the kids had a blast and that was the most important thing! Here are a few photo memories from our first annual GG camping trip, I really hope it's not the last!

Our amazing, wonderful, blessing of a Growth Group - our best friends :)
From L-R (pretty much) The Kamerlanders (Kyle, Ronya, Calin, Callie & Cole) The Turners (Alex, Melissa, AJ & Miles) The Vias (Aaron, Tiffany, Caleb & Becca) The Davidsons (Andrew, Jessica, Samuel & Micah) The Tafts (Brad, Rachel, Adriana & Jet) and then us!

Matthew and Kaylie had such a great time together, as always. I just love their sweetness together :)

On a hike to the falls :)

Just beautiful :)

Matthew loved the falls - slippery rocks and calm waterfalls that you could slide down, even with an innertube (we'll have to bring one of those next year!)
.
The Vias brought a zip line, home made by Aaron - the kids LOVED it!

Kaylie enjoying her first official campfire S'more - soooooo messy!!

Saturday night sunset - just look at those clouds!

Guess we need to invest in our own official camping gear, looks like we'll be doing it again :)
