Camping

A few weekends ago we went on a fall family camping trip :) The weather was perfect and it was nice to get away...even if the campground is just 20 minutes from our house! We weren't prepared for the amount of stuff we would need to rough it for a few days...after we unloaded 2 vehicles and got everything set up we were ready to relax!
The kids absolutely loved it. They were all smiles the whole weekend!

We roasted hot dogs and had S'mores. We took a night walk through the campground and got to use flashlights. We saw some deer very close up.There was a lot of bike riding and playground playing. As it turned out, a homeschool group was camping the same weekend and we knew some of the families so the kids had plenty of friends to play with.
The next day there was a junior ranger day at the park. The kids got to go to different stations. They learned how to throw a casting net, talked with fire fighters, fished, dressed like rangers, got to make turtle crafts and many other things. They had lots of fun!
After that was over we were done roughing it and got to eat lunch at one of our favorite restaurants out on the beach. Then we meet friends and spent the rest of the day on the beach enjoying the beautiful water and fall temperatures. It was a perfect relaxing time spent with family and friends!
