Camping for Thanksgiving

 Last year, we went camping for Thanksgiving and it was a magical experience. It snowed in the desert which was completely unexpected and we have some wonderful memories from it. We want on a ride through the hills and it was literally like driving through a Hallmark Christmas movie (one of my many guilty pleasures during the holidays). It was like a winter wonderland and just undeniably gorgeous. We decided that we are going to go camping again this Thanksgiving this year but not expecting to get lucky enough for a snowy experience yet again. These are just a few photos from last year. 

We had just gotten settled in when it started snowing. Bugaboo had never been in the snow before and he was excited to catch a snowflake on his tongue. 

We were excited to see the snow start falling and sticking to the ground. 

Just a couple hours later and we had snow. 

Bugaboo throwing his first snowball. We had epic snowball fight with him, chickadee and me. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved every moment of it. 

Chickadee making a mini snowman on her toy jeep. There wasn't enough clean snow to make a large snowman on the ground, but we could make mini ones on the different vehicles we had around. She was so excited. 

Even on the way home the snows were completely covered and it was a beautiful drive. 

We are going to go camping Friday morning through Sunday, now I just have to come up with some extra activities since I am not sure I can use the snow to distract them this year. So what are your thanksgiving plans? Do you have any suggestions for fun activities to keep the kids busy while camping? When was the last time you went camping? 

Until next time which I am sure will be all about food, I am just going to continue on this activity searching journey...
