Back at Camp

We had a great weekend camping and everything went fairly smooth. It was Princess #3's first time camping (not that she remember it in the least) and the girls first trip this season. Everyone had a blast! We camped with my parents and my brother and sister-in-law. We went to the Adirondack State park.  We are fortunate to live so close to such a beautiful area.

I did not grow up camping, but Prince Charming did and his family likes to hike/canoe with everything in a pack, tent for the weekend and hike/canoe back out. Now, least you think I am very woodsy, let me assure you that the type of camping we are doing now is not primative camping in any sense. We can pull our pop-up camper in the site, set-up our camp stove, lanterns, walk down to the potty and get water (usually within 5 sites of ours, this time it was right night door). Usually the bathhouses are a little further away but you can still get a hot shower everyday. The only thing we do not have is electricity. This type of camping is just my speed, sitting in front of a campfire with a good book or cooking over the campstove when everyone comes in from the lake. Ok, so maybe there is a little bit of woodman somewhere in there. But truely I love it and the girls love it...


Here is a peek from the weekend:
