Being the Mom of 2 boys, I knew this day would come. I knew eventually I was going to be taken out of my comfort zone and that I would get to experience things I had never done before. This happened this past week when we went camping for the first time as a family. And for me...the first time in my life!
We went down to Mohican which is about an hour or so south of us. We slept in our tent which was surprisingly comfortable given that the nights were nice and cool. The downside was that we had an open-field campsite. Being new to camping, I didn't realize how miserable this would be. But with temperatures in the mid 90's and full sun all day, open-field camping was horrible! We couldn't stay at our campsite at all during the day because it was too hot and too sunny. We spent a lot of time at the indoor pool and hiking in the woods to stay cool.
But the boys had a blast. Shan and Ian went fishing and Christian really enjoyed the playground. Shan tried to take the boys out in our inflatable boat, but Christian just isn't a boat fan. He screamed the whole way across the lake. LOL Shan and Ian did take a paddleboat out for a little bit though.
We cooked out and roasted marshmallows on the fire and made smores. I guess it was a very typical camping experience. And one that I do look forward to repeating. (Only never in open-field again! LOL)
Here are some images from our 3 day adventure.
