Snow Camping

This year we didn't plan our camping so well. We went to LaPine...in the mountains....in May...in a year when winter refuses to give up. The highest the temperature reached was somewhere around 39 degrees. We had rain, snow, sleet, hail, wind, and everything in between! (Of course we finally saw the sun on go-home day!) But we still had a great time with the extended Patterson family. (Sorry Washington folks, I somehow didn't get a single picture of any of you!)


The first thing Kaela and Graeson did was designate a spot for their "fort". It even had multiple rooms!

Of course we had s'mores....but it was so cold, they un-melted by the time we put them all together!

That's right, those are LONG PANTS you see on Bryan! (Now you know it was cold!)

The first day it snowed and was really cold, so we went to the High Desert Museum and waited out the storm.

There was plenty of cuddling under the blankets. (Maezie was not thrilled with the cold.)

And of course there was plenty of climbing on Papa.

We did actually see some people tent camping. Yikes! Thank goodness for our RV, Dad's cabin, and a big fire pit!
