campland on the bay


let me start off by saying i am not a camper.  jason loves to camp and for me it is just sitting around in dirt.  the neighbors, though, are determined to get me to love camping as most of them do, so they planned this camping trip for the whole neighborhood.  6 families with 11 kids to be exact.  it is not a very hard core camping experience, which made it a little easier and more enjoyable for us newbies.   so my dear hubbie rented this trailer and we borrowed our friend's truck and off we went.

we played in the pools
 

rode bikes

{luv, luv, luved our neighbor's nephew.  he was known as the baby whisperer.  i wanted to take him home with us.}

we made s'mores {maddie's first time.}
 

{i think by the look of their faces, they enjoyed this treat.}

they made up their own games with other kids from the campground
we played at the playground
enjoyed the beach

{except when sand is being thrown on you by other campland kids}

started sleeping through movie night 

we celebrated a birthday party

and even had a snow fight

needless to say, the kids will all share so many great memories, the adults had some good laughs, and i still think camping is just sitting in dirt.

You always have loved the DIRT. Should have made yourself a chip sandwich for old time sake!

I'm with you honey, I'm not much for camping either. Dirt, noise, too many people...Mom
