This was our first real Jeep event, and what really got us hooked on four-wheeling and Jeepin'. This was the first Camp Jeep ever held in California. We hope they continue to have them every year. (We've read on Jeep's website that they won't, though. C'mon, Jeep! Come back next year!!)

We spent the first day doing some of the events and activities at the "base camp." They had tons of stuff to do for the kids, craft tents, vehicle displays, a "confidence course" and live music.

The real fun was on the trails, though. We didn't get many pictures while we were wheelin', though. We spent most of our time holding on and negotiating terrain. We really hope they do this again next year!

	Here's our family at the entrance to the main area. We were really excited. There were hundreds of Jeeps there!
	Aspen spent a lot of time up on my shoulders each day. It gave her a bird's eye view of everything, and kept us moving along!
	They had this really cool board set up near the entrance where everyone could sign. We all signed our names and put where we live.
	You can see the "Lucky Devil" in the middle of this picture.
	Near the kids' tent, they had a huge coloring poster that anyone could come and color. By the time the event was over, it was almost completely colored.
	Aspen and Ambrosia had a blast coloring the giant poster.
	Inside the kids' tent they had the creator of a Jeep-endorsed cartoon: Tugger the Jeep. They had a display with the Jeep that inspired the creator, and a TV playing the cartoon. It was pretty neat.
	Outside the kids' tent, they had a track with some little electric Jeeps for the kids to drive.
	Ambrosia was barely small enough to fit in and drive one of them. It's a good thing, too. Aspen wasn't old enough to drive on her own yet.
	They made lap after lap in their mini Jeep before we moved on to more fun.
	Ambrosia was having a lot of fun.
	Day two. We signed up for a trail ride. When we got to the staging area for the trails, there were a lot of Jeeps lined up and ready to go. Aspen got really excited when she saw all the Jeeps.
	Before departing on our trail, we got to watch another group get started. They took off up this really steep hill, kicking up dust the whole way. The dust there was miserable the whole weekend.
	Here are the girls getting ready to pile into Justine's Jeep. The kids were getting really excited.
	Someone was nice enough to take this picture of us all.
	Before taking off, I climbed up a nearby hill and took some pictures of the mass of Jeeps lining up to hit the trails.
	You can see Justine's Jeep right in the middle of this picture.
	While I was up on the hill, I took a snap of the giant inflatable Wrangler they had at Camp Jeep. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures while we were on the trail. We were too busy enjoying it to take pictures!
	The trail was a ton of fun, though. Ambrosia shows her approval by giving the thumbs up. We were hooked.
	Great shot of the girls in front of Justine's very dirty, and very happy Sahara.
	Proud mother!
	Day three. On the last day, they had a bunch of bands lined up. The headliner was Live, which just happens to be one of Justine's favorite bands. We got a spot right in front of the stage. It was a great show.
	On our way out, we took this shot next to this big banner. They had a bunch of these with "everyday heroes" such as firefighters, police, military and medical folks. We really appreciate that they did that.
	Last shot before heading home at the end of a great weekend. This was it. We are hooked. Our checkbooks will never be the same.
