Camping in Wrightwood

Oddly enough, we had a free weekend and took advantage of it by packing the car and heading to the mountains for a weekend of camping. We weren't able to get out at all last summer, so we didn't want another summer to pass without camping. Plus, this was Landon's first time camping and he had an absolute blast. Trying to contain that child is another story. He was running all over the place having the time of his life. That included trying to put everything in his mouth, including pine cones.

We camped at Table Mountain which is right near the ski resorts in Wrightwood, about an hour from home. The campground was nice and there weren't alot of people there when we got there, but most of the great sites were taken. People obviously have their favorites! We found a nice site and set up camp. Todd tried a new dutch oven recipe of chicken and rice which actually turned out pretty great. We hung out after eating, playing with the kids and then it was time for smores. Both kids loved smores like any kid would.

The night actually we very well. Landon slept the whole night without so much as a wimper but he was up early and ready to go. We made dutch oven cinnamon roles for breakfast and chilled for a bit before breaking camp. After we broke camp, we headed over to the Grassy Hollows visitor center which was nice. Skye got to learn all about the different animals (including bears) in the Angeles National Forest. Landon liked it too, but he was kinda ticked that he couldn't touch everything in sight! After the visitor's center, we stopped by Jackson Lake to walk around. It is more of a pond, but Skye and I took a walk while Landon and mom slept in the car.

Overall a great weekend. Our next trip to Hume Lake is planned in early September for a few days. Looking forward to that one.
