Camping

Peter has wanted to take the kids camping since we have had kids!  He and a buddy, Wil, decided to make their first camping trip together to Hanging Rock State Park in NC.  We decided the first trip would be just for the two older kids which made it extra special for them. They went hiking to Window Falls and Hidden Falls, set up camp, cooked hotdogs and s'mores, got cozy in a super awesome tent (I was a little jealous of all the cool new gear), slept well, made an awesome pancake, sausage, egg and nutella pie breakfast, and broke down camp.  They each earned three badges - hiking, camp life, and fire safety! 

They all loved every. single. minute!!!  They did not stop talking about their adventures and camp life until they went to bed.  I am so proud of Peter for all the work he put into preparing for this weekend and making it such a wonderful experience for Kate and Max.  I am confident there will be more camping in our future and I am eager for the day we are all snug in that awesome tent together.
