1st Annual Preschool Camping Trip

We went camping this weekend in Malibu with 25 other families from Matilda's school. It was utter chaos most of the time but much fun was had. The school has been doing this a long time and some families like it so much they are still coming with their now-elementary school aged kids.

Porter looked like a filthy street urchin the entire time and had a blast. Word got around that we had hot chocolate, so site 66 was the place to be Saturday morning.This is Matilda's BFF. She can rock the bathing-suit-with-boots look, no problem.
After a little tidepooling Porter & Matilda got some surf pointers. They were both so excited to balance and climb on the board.
We shared a huge pile of fried seafood and and even bigger Sol for lunch at Neptune's Net. Except Porter, who slept even through all the Harleys.
Refueled, Matilda went back to work sand castling. She also found a ball of tar to play with. No joke. One of the other parents said it was from a local spill in the late 60s? It was a joy to try and clean off her skin and nails.
All kids are even cuter than normal when sleeping in a tent. We all actually slept fairly well, for camping-sleeping especially.
Our site featured the best climbing tree ever.
