First Camping Adventure

Now that Luke and Olivia are full on walking, we thought it was a good time to tackle camping with them. Let's just say Dan's idea of camping and my idea differ quite a bit. He's good with a tent and sleeping bag while I prefer running water and a/c =). Luckily we went with MauMaw and PauPaw, who have a camper complete with running water and a/c. We went the past Saturday-Monday to Dan Nicholas Park, which is about an hour from our house. The first afternoon was a little crazy because the storms knocked out the power and we had no hot water, but luckily the weather improved and we had great days on Sunday and Monday.

There is a lot to do at Dan Nicholas Park, and I mean A LOT! There is a fast moving carousel, a little train, a petting zoo, a huge park, paddle boats, miniature golf, friendly ducks...the list goes on. Some of Dan's family joined us on Sunday and we spent almost all day outside, including eating dinner and toasting marshmallows around the campfire. There was so much for Luke and Olivia to do they didn't really feel like napping for very long. Needless to say they passed out Sunday night!

Monday we went back to the playground for a little bit and then it was time to return home so Dan could get some work done. The days went by so fast and I think we will definitely go camping again sometime this summer.
