We went on our first official family camping trip this weekend.  A few weeks ago Eric had mentioned to me that he wanted to take Charlie camping.  When I asked about Cannon, he said he would only take Cannon if I went too.  Then we mentioned it to my parents and next thing you know, we were all committed and it was booked.

I will admit that I am not much of a camper.  Eric found a place with cabins because he knew I probably wouldn't go for a tent.  It was a lot of work packing for this overnight trip.  We needed clothes, food, plates/napkins, swimming stuff, bedding, fishing stuff, s'mores fixings, and lots of bug spray.

We went to Silver Creek Plunge.  They have this amazing natural hot springs pool with a kid area for the boys.  This was a great activity to have so close to the campsite.  We all loved it.

Of course we had to roast hot dogs by the campfire.

And it was the first time any of us had made s'mores before.

 

The night went good and we all slept pretty well.  Cannon was so tired he was practically begging to go to sleep.....that was a first!  He was also a pretty big fan of the outhouses.

Overall, I am glad that we made the time to do this.  Thank-you to G-Pa and GG for taking us!

Now, I am off to itch my mosquito bites....
