The Breidings went camping this past weekend. It was only 45 minutes away and it was only for one night, but we slept in a tent and had a good time.
We got there and found that the campground that was chosen (we went with LOK and so someone else chose the campground) was really meant for RVs only. The ground was gravel. Plus, the trails, the swimming spot, and everything “fun” to do at the state park was over 3 miles away … not walking distance. Although, it was a pretty park, this is not a park we will be returning to.
We set up the tent as it was sprinkling and the wind was gusting, and Jade running around. After everything was set up, we decided to try to explore and find the trail before nap time. I tried to put Jade down for a nap in the tent, but she was not having anything to do with it. She just wanted to play.
We went and hung out with our LOK friends and decided to go find the beach so the kids could play in the sand (since there was a swimming ban). On the drive over there (yes, we had to drive it was so far away), Jade finally fell asleep. We woke her up after a quick nap so she could play in the sand.
We had dinner with our LOK friends and SMORES (cooked over a propane stove since there was a fire ban) and headed back to the tent.
I was not feeling well, so I fell asleep. Luckily, Jade was equally tired, so she fell asleep too, although she fell asleep with her feet at the head of the bed. She kicked us all night long and almost rolled Jeremy off the air mattress, but we all got a relatively good nights sleep. In the morning, I got Jade ready and made breakfast (eggs and bacon) while Jeremy took down the tent.
We survived and we had fun. I definitely look forward to going camping with her again, this time to a better campground, hopefully when there isn’t a fire ban or swim ban.
