Camping Adventures

Our first camping trip with all three kids.  We went back when Caden was around 18 months, and for some reason hadn't been since.  So we equipped ourselves with a tent large enough for all of us, packed the car to the brim and set out to meet the Chirco cousins in Cape Neddick, Maine. We hit this area so that we could use it as home base for York's Wild Animal Kingdom (more on that next time!)


We spent most of the day away from the site, so I'm now realizing we didn't take many pictures.  But Cora and Cole both managed to figure out how to operate the latch on the cooler, not all that surprising for Cole, but Cora will do anything to get her hands on her milk!  Not only that, but both kids have a thing for apples.  Every time we turned around they were gnawing on one.

Our resident owl.  He hung out at our campsites the entire time we were there!
You better behave or Aunt Roberta will put you in the Cargo holder!
Rob spent much of the day trying to convince Gabrielle to share her hat.. she was not buying it!

Cora might be She-Ra reincarnated, this stick she was carrying around was HUGE!

Such a cutie!  Casey was not a "happy camper" and does not like sleeping in a tent! 

Cora loved the sparklers and grabbed a hold readily (this is actually after she'd already been holding it)


I think we regret not camping sooner!  I honestly think we thought Cole was going to give us a run for our money and we were going to lose him to the wolves in the woods!  Surprisingly they were all very well behaved (for the most part!)  and we made it home without losing anyone.  Fabulous!  The kids had so much fun hanging with their cousins, they were sad to see the weekend end.  We are looking forward to doing it again!

Oh my gosh- that photo of Casey is GORGEOUS!! Well-done!

Camping does sound like a blast. I'm so not a camper though- I really need to have a trial run in my backyard. :)

Love the photo too of Cora and the apple. Such a cutie!
