Camping

We recently went camping, and Bonnie's new friend from school and her family joined us. It was so fun! All the kids play so well together and it's been really nice to have some friends in our actual neighborhood that we can hang out with together.


We tried to get a spot at Chickahominy Riverfront Park, but all the camping spots were booked so we decided to try out Cheatham Annex on the navy base. It was a very different set up but worked great. There was a playground right in front of us, so that was a bonus.


The kids were poking their fingers in this hole in a tree and pretending there was an animal living inside. Little did they know, a little squirrel slowly started poking it's head out and seemed very interested in them. They couldn't believe it.


After we ate dinner, we took a walk to the pier for some night fishing.


Then it was time to come back to the campfire to make some s'mores.


Bonnie and her friend Avery happened to have matching unicorn camp chairs. 


Our setup for the night. Once we got the kids to bed, the adults stayed up much too late talking by the campfire. I didn't realize it at the time but I was completely covered in bug bites the next day. 


The next morning we played for a bit then started packing up. It was a fun last-minute adventure! And I think most of the kids will remember it.
