Camping 2012: Early the next morn

We live in a desert climate. It's hot and dry in the daytime, cold and dry at night. Plus, we were in the mountains. So, we had to bundle up. It got down in the low 50's at night. CC was almost completely enclosed in this sleeping bag when we woke up. Big Ben kept snuggling down all night until he was almost at the bottom of the tent by morning. You can find a nose and a hand if you look hard.
First ones up, always.
Here was our view the next morning. Beautiful!

We begged for a fire. CC sent us out to collect pine needles and dead branches, while he got the fire pit ready.
I had just graded an assessment on place value on the drive up. I had assigned it to my students in hopes that the grades would come up a little on that skill. They did not. I offered them for kindling, but the pine needles worked fine.
Soon, a wonderful fire was lit.
I love so many things about this picture.
Breakfast was some banana bread made at home, as well as eggs we scrambled over the fire.
