Family Camping Trip #2 - Possum Kingdom


So, this is the second camping trip we have taken together as a family (click here to read about the first). We went to Possum Kingdom State Park for two nights. We were a bit bummed when we got there to find out that we would not get to have our campfire. Totally bummed. Carey was bummed because he hauled firewood from home for this express purpose. I was bummed because this is my absolute favorite part of camping hands down. I love it. I love the warmth of it. I love the smore making. I love to stay up late with just Carey and I outside of the tent talking while the kids are asleep. So bummed. Carey and I had our little pity party about no campfire and then proceeded to try and enjoy oursleves.







We didn't have quite the drama as we did on our last camping trip together.

Although, Carey did not pack any pants, Riley was on the verge of crying at one point because he missed his toys, bed, the TV and getting to take a bath (not a fan of the shower), Victoria was a complete mess the entire time and kept eating food that she would find on the ground (I kid you not!), I only slept about 3 hours the first night because I was SO uncomfortable, and the park ranger got on our case a bit because we left our dog unattended to go fishing (apparently this is a BIG no-no).

But, we ate good (as usual), Riley loved getting to hike with Daddy, both Riley and Victoria got to go fishing for the first time, we had an awesome secluded campsite up on a hill with a fantastic view of the lake, I did absolutely nothing on Friday for about 4 hours, there was a quaint camp store there that was kinda neat - it had just about everything you would ever need crammed into about 200 square feet, and we got to eat ice cream from DQ on the way home around 10AM.

Good times. Glad to be home.

Sounds like fun! I am so not the camping type, but it really does sound like an awesome bonding time.
By the way, can you send me your address, I am finally getting ready to send out birth announcements.

Glad y'all had a good time! Bummer about the campfire, though. I, too, would miss the s'more action. Seriously, that would pretty much be the only thing to coerce me into sleeping on hard ground. LOL

As for Victoria eating off the ground...well...maybe you get longer than the 5 second rule out in the wilderness, so it's all good.
