We went camping with our neighbors who are our great friends, the Parkers. They have two boys, Timmy and Matthew, who are the exact same ages as Jonathan and Adam so it was great! Despite all the packing and worrying about the bugs, poison ivy...oh my what fun we had. Really, what toddlers wouldn't enjoy being outdoors all day long including through the night in a tent. Pinchot State Park has a beautiful lake too with sand that the boys loved playing in. This was truly the best place for a 2 and 4 year old. The playground was big hit too. We had so much fun making s'mores, grilled cheese and ham sandwiches, including a good hearty breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, and pumpkin muffins. Cold through the night during a September day, but I was so amazed at how the kids slept through most the night even with acorns falling on our tent and all those creatures that live in the woods making all kinds of noises. Kristin had all the great ideas with all kinds of crafts, campfire songs, and games (uno cards) for the kids. I'm not so sure we could have done this first camping adventure without the Parkers who brought most of the camping gear. And thank you Amanda and family for letting us borrow 2 air mattresses. I could not have slept as well as I did with acorns, leaves, sticks and whatever else poking at my back. Walking to the bathhouse to go to the bathroom was a bit of a challenge, they weren't far away, but were not close enough either. Never did I think I would say....we'll do it again!
