Last weekend, we went for it. The girls and I took off to the wild on our own for a weekend in the woods. We drove an hour and a half with Harry Potter to keep us company until we found a peaceful spot off the main dirt road where we could pitch our little tent on mostly level ground.

We went on a lovely 4-mile loop hike where we saw 2 elk and hawks, hid from the ATVers, and found broomsticks on which to practice quidditch before the house cup was awarded (they’re both in Griffindor, though often Tessa defects to Hufflepuff).

We were a little silly.

And definitely a lot dirty.

And these girls are amazing adventurers!
