Camping...in the rain

We loaded the van and headed off for Cunningham Falls State Park for a long weekend of camping.


Unfortunately Uncle couldn't join us as he was in Richmond learning to drive a bus! We got the tent up, collected some firewood and got the fire going,. The the kids cooked hotdogs on sticks and roasted marshmallows for s'mores.

The next morning we woke to clouds but after a yummy pancake and egg breakfast we hiked into the woods toward Cunningham Falls. The drizzle started followed by rain drops that kept coming faster and faster. The kids didn't care!
The rain didn't stop and without fire there was no dinner so we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. Sunday morning it was still raining so we packed up and came home.

Backyard Camping

Since we haven't had a chance to camp this summer, we slept under the stars in the backyard. A little help getting the tent set up:

And voila!

Dont' worry - we're off to Cunningham Falls for camping in September. Pics to follow.
