We survived camping!



Matt's first camping trip was a success! We were a bit cold, we were a bit dirty, and we were a bit tired, but all in all, we had a great time! We met our family from Liverpool, NY about halfway and camped at Adriondack Adventure Resorts. The campground was great for kids with a nice playground, a sandy beach to play on, and a really fun kiddie pool! We also spent some time in downtown Saratoga and checked out Moreau Lake State Park. And of course, we played lots of games while doing lots of eating and drinking! Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

Here is the tent from Matt's first camping trip. He only spent one night in it because of the weather, and then he moved over to his Nanny and Grampy's wonderful (heated) camper! We did a little musical beds the whole weekend to try to get everyone (people, babies, and dogs) comfortable. Unfortunately, Matt didn't sleep great wherever he was and was quite happy to be home in his bed last night (as were mom and dad)! Matt had a wonderful time just exploring the campground. He walked and walked and walked some more. And he loved watching his big cousins Abby, Brad, Kendal, and Gracie. They were almost like babysitters since they kept him so entertained!
Matt also loved checking out the lake and watching all the big kids catch tiny fish in their nets. He was also quite interested in the birds flying overhead.

And even more fun than that was the kiddie pool, which had all sorts of neat ways of squirting water around!
He also enjoyed touring the campground in his little red wagon! He even took a few rides with his cousins!
However, Matt's favorite part of the weekend by a landslide was watching his cousin David spit the ladder golf balls out (over and over again)! It was actually quite entertaining for the rest of us too!
So overall we had a very fun weekend and loved spending time with family! We were also very glad to be home last night and might not camp again for awhile!!!!!!!! ;-)
