Vail Lake Camping

We had a three day weekend with no sports and no place we had to be so we quickly booked a camping trip that wasn't too far from home.   We've camped here at Vail Lake many times and we've always enjoyed ourselves.  We left Friday right after the girls got home from school.  Brooklyn was ready to go along with her favorite friend, Milly who has gone on just about every trip with us.

It was dark when we arrived and although we were at a location we've camped out many times our spot was in a different area than our usual so we weren't sure what was around.  We couldn't explore much because it was just too dark so we set up, grilled dinner, got some beverages and then we all spent the evening playing card games before calling it a night.

The next morning the girls were out ready to explore.  There was a perfect spot for them right beside our campground where they found a cool tree they could play in so they were happy.

Before it got too hot we headed out for a bike ride, well they rode bikes while we walked.

It was a beautiful walk overlooking the lake.

Kayla did not enjoy it so much!

She is not into our hikes/walks whatsover anymore.

When we got back we ate lunch and while we relaxed the girls were off exploring again

The campsite had mini golf so we did that later in the afternoon along with the girls riding on the barrel train

We grilled up some dinner and then headed back to the main area to listen to the band they had playing that night.

Brooklyn took over my phone before we left and took a bunch of pictures.   I'm only posting three because how many selfies of a 10 year old do we need to see??

Brooklyn was not into listening to the band which was quickly taken care of with a game of ping pong for them while we got to enjoy the music

Sunday was Ten on Ten and I documented most of the day here in this post but here are a few more of our day.  Pictures of Kayla are hard to get now that she is over the smile for mommy phase so I have to beg for them whenever I can

The girls, Brooklyn, really wanted to ride the barrel train again so we waited while they got in one more ride before we headed off to some local wineries.

Just a picture of my dream home up on a hill overlooking the vineyards in Temecula wine country.

The girls enjoyed looking at the farm animals while we tasted at a new to us winery

Then we headed over to one of our favorite wineries.

We played spoons but improvised with lipgloss while we waited for our dinner.

Our last night was beautiful, pretty sunset followed by a full moon!

A few quick photos before heading home.

We all agreed it was a fun and relaxing trip!
