Camping

Meant to post about this earlier in the week, but hey better late than never!

Last weekend we joined Carrie and Kevin @ Whetstone Gulf State Park to camp! Originally we had 2 nights in mind, but switched to one night after my mobility situation got a bit altered. It seemed manageable.

We left and arrived early Saturday morning. It was a couple miles down the road from Snow Ridge Ski Area in Turin, New York where moe.down is held. Kevin, Carrie, their little girls, Kevin's brother Jay, and Carrie's sister-in-law Kristen were there to greet us.  Yay we made it. The girls didn't rest on the drive at all. And it was time to get out of the car.

It was a great day. I started off with some insurance studying and put that down after a few minutes. Carrie, Jay, Kristen and her dog went hiking. Sara, Kevin, and the kids went to check out the beach. Our camp sites were pretty sweet. We were right in between the beach and the bathrooms.

I crutched over to the beach after a couple minutes of hanging back and sat in the chair to watch. After a bit we went back for lunch. We returned to the beach later in the afternoon and the kids played for a long time. After dinner and much fire action and Jay's nighttime story to the girls, it got darker and darker. Darkness and sleeping proved to be an interesting experience.

In the morning we played and packed up our site. Sara was my true MVP for the weekend packing up all of our stuff in the car and helping me when I needed things. We vacated our camp sites and then went to the beach for a couple hours. The girls were worn out and fell asleep pretty quick on the ride home. I survived. Ha.

Our campsite. Our red tent is on the left!

We'll save this hike for another time :)  They had signs posted advising to stay off trail after 3pm. 

Sand action!

Pretty quiet little spot! :) 

Marsh it up!

Time to head home!

Group shot!

More playing before we leave!
