Our first camping trip in 2 seasons was a success! And although the kids and I enjoyed TENTING, we're not ready to give up our pop-up camper! LOL
We arrived on Monday afternoon and set up our site in 30 minutes flat! (But we're SPARSE campers compared to some.) Having 3 "older" kids to pitch the tent, blow up air mattresses and set up camp chairs made for a quick camp set-up! Lovin' the teamwork!

Our days were spent swimming in the pool since we had several SCORCHER days! We're all tanned up (despite sunblock) from HOURS and HOURS swimming. And I was excited to see that Balsam Fir's ability to swim has come along by leaps-and-bounds already this summer!
We enjoyed evening walks after campfire dinners along the brook and pond. We saw turtles, a Luna Moth and dragonfly, and a PORCUPINE...and heard several different kinds of birds and frogs.

And we enjoyed quiet evenings around the campfire, reading and talking and listening to birds.
((sigh)) And now back to MOUNTAINS of dirty laundry! LOL
Looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks fun! We haven't been camping in two years. I miss it! Unfortunately, looks like we won't be going this year either.
ReplyDeleteJessy, what a great trip. I am not a huge fan of tent camping. I love everything except the actual sleeping. ;) Love all the swimming time you got in. Your walks look so beautiful and how cool you saw a porcupine!! And a campfire...is there anything better? :) Were there S'mores? :)
ReplyDeleteWe love to camp! Your pics are fantastic:) Looks like a beautiful place. And a porcupine?! Pretty cool!
