And then we camped...

We have gone on two camping trips so far this year and if I wait until I have time to sit in front of the computer to upload the (real) camera pics to my blog, I'll never write about them. 

The first trip we took was to Lake Taghkanic State Park with Allishawn and Juni. I don't think I need to tell you that Cole had a blast.  I will post those pics and a little about that trip soon I promise. In the meantime I will tell you about our trip last week that we took to Mongaup Pond. It.  Was. Amazing. So beautiful and peaceful we didn't want to leave. A pond that looks more like a lake. A waterfront site. Total quiet at night. The only drawback? Because we were in the Catskills, the 60 degree overnight temp for everyone else in the Hudson Valley was really in the low 50s in Western Sullivan County where the campground was located. We were not prepared and Bevin's all night buffet had me freezing and mostly awake the entire night. Otherwise we had a really good time and we didn't even do much! This is definitely a place we will return to for future camping trips.

Cole points to some ducks...

These ducks returned to our site multiple times looking for hand outs....

Cloud porn...

Not a bad view...

Bevin really digs camping...

Enjoying the early evening air...

Cole is very serious about his marshmallow roasting...

My new all time favorite beer...

This is what happens when you forget to pack warm clothes...

Because how can I post about our getaway without posting at least one pic of Mama?...

Cole is also very serious about his cereal. It's a morning routine he does not like to deviate from...

Always a happy camper, even when it's cold. She's probably yelling "Aaaaaa"

He looks peaceful, but he's actually yelling at the ducks or at fishermen. I hadn't finished my morning tea by that point so I can't remember...

"Just a yittle more daddy. Just a yittle more!" Always the helper. 

When we got home Cole proved how exhausting (yet exhilarating) it all was. 

And that was only two nights! Our next adventure is 4 nights. It will be tiring but it shall be fun. I declare. Getaway number 3 is to the beach. Can't wait!!
