We did this back in July but I just realized that I never checked it off the list, so here we are:
Back on July the 4th, we went to Samuel P Taylor State Park. I wanted to go for one night to see if Nathaniel could go through with it. We went about 90minutes north of where we live. It was supposed to be a quiet spot and I figured if things go badly, we could always pack up and go home. Here are some of the photos I took and posted around then:
We had a really great great day. David loved every single moment of it and so did Nathaniel. Jake and I slept really badly but the kids snored like champs. I think there’s definitely more camping in out future. Or maybe some cabin-staying since I am not so sure my back can handle the ground as well as it used to.
All in all, I am really really glad we did it.
Ca doit être un endroit vraiment magnifique, ça respire le calme, la zenitude… vous avez passée une superbe journée
c’était vraiment merveilleux. merci
What lovely pictures. I would love to go camping with the family but my husband thinks they are still too young (6,3 years old and 11 months). I think I’d go for the cabin as well as I do like feeling comfortable. The most important thing is to spend time with the family and what I like about outings is that we get to see our kids from a different angle. On our one day trips I always come back thinking to myself that I have yet again discovered something special about each of my boys even my husband. I am never bored when they are around. Thanks for sharing your stories because they always seem to awaken mine.
i totally agree about spending time and seeing things from a different angle. i’ve never done the cabin so let me know how it goes if you do it. i worried nathaniel would be too young too but we brought his packn play and he slept like a charm
Such beautiful photos of your camping trip! Im with you though, I love everything about camping but the sleeping arrangements!
Camping is such a bonding experience with family. We go several times a year. Yes, cabins are nice but tenting it is an awesome experience as well. I’d invest in these great double air mattresses. So much better than a regular one. Hope you can enjoy it again sometime.
i do actually have one of the really really thick ones but i think it’s too narrow. did you mean double in wideness?
