Julian Camping Trip

We just returned from a fun, chilly weekend of camping in Julian! We were so blessed to have the whole family together. It is such a special treat when all of us take the time from our busy lives to break away to the quiet, peaceful mountains and enjoy God's awesome creation. There were so many times when I stopped to look around at our family having fun together and thanked God for those special moments!

Saturday morning we headed out to Raven Hill Orchards to pick some of our very own Julian apples. We've now got about 6 pounds of Golden Delicious, Jonathan & Empire apples! Yum!

Sammy loved picking the apples and putting them in his bag.

Here he is enjoying one of his apples! It was so fun to watch him walk around chomping on apples all weekend. :)

Grandaddy holding his 2 youngest grandboys, Sam & Indi by the campfire. What a special moment!

It was really chilly in the morning (in the mid-40's...!)! We needed scarves, mittens, hats, jackets, and of course a fire to keep us warm!

Kissing cousins! All the grandkids loved taking rides behind the bike in this little cart.

Who needs toys when you've got rope & the great outdoors? The cousins had great fun keeping each other entertained all weekend. :)

All the girls took a break from the campgrounds to have afternoon tea in downtown Julian. This was an adorable little tea house, serving delicious tea, scones and hot pumpkin soup!
We ended our weekend with a fun stop at the pumpkin patch.

And everyone picked out their very own pumpkins. Sam had lots of fun pushing the wagon with Andrew.

It was a full weekend of fun, dirt, minimal sleep, & cherished memories! Next was to head home for some much needed showers and naps. :) Can't wait for next year!
