Camping at Indian Cave State Park

Will, Grant and Gage

Hannah, Emma and Will

We took the kids camping last weekend with some other friends who have campers. It was Max's first experience in the camper and since I forgot the pack-n-play, it did not go as well as planned. There were no naps and the only way he went to sleep at night was if I laid with him until he fell asleep. I then barricaded the bed with stuff so he couldn't roll off! He can't walk so I held him a lot since I couldn't put him down outside. He also went on a lot of stroller rides and red car rides.

Jack, Will and Hannah had a blast and of course never want to leave. They all had someone to play with, slingshots to shoot and bikes to ride. We brought a little pool and they had a great time soaking each other. It was HOT so the water came in handy. We also drove around to find the cave. Jack was excited because he thought he was going to uncover ancient ruins but was disappointed when we arrived at the cave to find that it was blocked off so you could only get so close. It was still pretty impressive. I did not bring the camera up with me since I had to carry Max, it was a lot of steps and hot! I now wish I would have!

It is nice to be able to see the kids have so much fun doing the simple things that the outdoors has to offer. Lots of dirt, rocks, mud and secret hide-outs.
