We took the girls on their first camping trip to High Point State Park in upper north-west New Jersey. We were a little nervous about what it would really mean to have two wee ones in the wilderness, but we thought we’d give it a try.
We got a new, bigger tent, charged up the tablets and hit the road. As it turns out, when you add two people to your camping trip, the amount of stuff you need doubles!
The girls hung out in the back of daddy’s truck until we got the tent up.
Kennedy really liked hanging out in the tent. She set up her sleeping bag and her little area all by herself.
One of the benefits of camping is that the chilly nights caused the children to sleep really well. Kelsey slept in every morning. Kennedy, on the other hand, was up bright and early. Too early. We made her get in the sleeping bags with us until the hour became more appropriate for waking.
The park had a swimming beach not too far from the campsites. We spent the entire Saturday here.
This is Kelsey’s second time in water, her first time in a lake. She was perfectly happy to sit and entertain herself in the water.
Me and the girls
Kennedy loved toasting marshmallows, but who doesn’t?!
Kelsey indulged me by snuggling on Sunday morning. I was able to snap this picture before she kicked me to the curb in favor of her sister.
We had a great time and look forward to at least one other camping adventure this summer!
