SPRING BREAK

Let me begin by stating that I did not grow up in a camping family,...therefore, I am not a camper. But as the kids are getting older, we didn't want another Spring Break to come and go, without doing anything fun, or out of the ordinary. So, after much deliberation, it was decided that we were going to go CAMPING! We invited along another family to add to the fun and adventure. At first we were going to head to Akansas to a park about 4 hours away. But in the end, we thought that since this was our first attempt, and it was still a little chilly outside with a possibilty of rain, that we wouldn't go too far. So, instead, we went to Wall Doxie State Park, which is about 45 minutes south of us. The kids had a blast setting up tents, going on a 2.5 mile hike around the lake, playing frisbee golf, playing boccee ball and horseshoes, making smores, and chillin around the campfire. Although a little too cold for me, I must admit that it was a fun 3 days. I don't know that I would now claim to be a camper, but I think we may try it again when the weather is a little warmer. We are planning another adventure with a group of families for later next month.
