Camping
About 5 years ago, before kids were a twinkle in our eyes we headed out with a bunch of friends to a campsite in Bantam and vowed to come back every year after that since we had such a great time.
We haven't been back since.
Until now... We took Miles for his first real camping trip to the same gampgorund this weekend, and though it was not the beer and food fest of the past we all still had a really great time.
We had planned to leave Friday afternoon, but Hurricane Danny had other plans for us. It rained most of the day Friday and into Saturday morning. Being the weather experts that we are and obsessively checking the weather forecasts on TV and several websites we decided we would leave around 11am and it would stop by the time we got there. We should really change jobs because we were right.
We set up camp and waited for the others to arrive. Our site was across from the lake and there was a great area in the middle with a bunch of trees and a rock cluster for the kids to play in. They really did a great job of staying close, but the adults were still able to relax and not have to entertain every minute.
Most of the time was still spent sitting around the campfire, doing a lot of eating, but maybe not as much drinking. We were able to take the canoe out a couple of times and play in the shallow parts of the lake.
Unfortunately with the rain and all not a single one of us even thought to bring a camera, so we have no pictures. We'll just have to do it again!
