Camp Threecrazykids
We went camping last weekend – the first time in 5 years and first time w/3 kids!!! Needless to say I thought I would have to take some kind of blood pressure medication while we were there, but it was awesome, we all had a great time!
We went to Pocahontas State Park, a quick 30 minute drive in case we had to head home in the middle of the night. The kids had a blast cutting and collecting wood, bringing water from the well, collecting dung chips, feeding the cattle… come on now, it’s not like we crossed the plains. But they did help out a ton and loved eating hot dogs and chocolate milk hot from the fire (and the camp stove).
Only downer was that we couldn’t bring in our own wood cuz of mites, we had to buy wood at the site and it ended up being wet… so no roaring camp fire complete with singing songs and telling ghost stories. Which is just as well cuz the kids were sound asleep by 8:30 – everyone slept thru the night w/only one midnight potty break (and surprisingly it wasn’t Denton).
Next camping trip…. we’re tenting it at the Richmond International Raceway waiting to catch a glimpse of the Pitbull in Lipstick herself, Sarah Palin when she comes through Richmond on Monday. If we do I”ll post pics, of Denton kissing her that is.
