The kids were thrilled to sleep in their very own sleeping bags, make a fire, eat marshmallows (roasting optional!), and play with flash lights and glow sticks. Moira and Daddy even got to catch a firefly. During the day, the kids enjoyed all the kitchy activities of the park. It was like stepping back in time. They jumped on bouncy pillows, swam for hours, rode in a pedal boat, had a water balloon fight, and played on playgrounds. Jon and Carter even ventured to Luray Caverns. It was neat to hear his report - even if I had to drag it out of him.
We also learned Moira has a future as a firewoman. She taught herself how to go down the (7ft high!) fireman pole on the playground. It made me so nervous, but at 2 and a half, she is quite proficient. This girl is all muscle!
I hope you enjoy the photos. Carter's favorite part of camping was roasting marshmallows and Moira's favorite was sleeping in the tent. Jon and I loved being experiencing all of this through their eyes. What a treat. We ALL can't wait for next time!!!
All packed up and ready to go.
Are we there yet?

These aren't yo momma's marshmallows. These things were HUGE!
They are so sweet when they finally fall asleep. ;-) We are saving this pic for when they are teens.
Pretty amazing.

What great photos! Brought back tons of memeories..we used to take Stevn And Ashley there tent camping when they were your kids ages! They loved it when Yogi actually came around the campground on Saturdays sitting on the backof an old pick up truck tossing out candy! Ashley also loved picking mulberries off the huge bushes...she stained every shirt we brought! Our tent was about the same size when we began camping...such a sweet and special memory! Thanks for sharing yours with us!
