A Camping We Will Go. . .

We headed out this weekend for our last camp of the season. It's getting very cool at night and it was kind of "now or never." So, we headed out to a new state park very close to us to check it out. The campgrounds were a bit crowded and out in the open, (we prefer primitive campsites that are drive-upable) but we made it our home for Friday night.

Chandler was into EVERYTHING that evening and we started calling him "little bear" because he was so bothersome! It was a relief to put him to bed so we could stay up and roast marshmallows with the boys. About 10 minutes after we put him to bed though, the big boys were begging for their beds as well. We tried to convince them to stay up and roast marshmallows and such, but after about 10 minutes of begging for mercy we gave in and sent them all off to bed. We enjoyed a windy night snuggled warm in our tent, with only a brief 3 a.m. waking from Chan-man. The birds made sure we awoke bright and early and didn't sleep too late.

We spent the rest of the morning exploring the rest of the camp and checking out the "hike in" camp that maybe we'll be able to do in a few years when the boys are old enough to carry a bit more. There were even cabins there we might utilize in the winter, brand new. A fun discovery!

Don't you think we could sleep a bit more?
