Camping Day 3

Day3 of camping found us feeling rather adventurous...

so to climbed to the top the 

Mt Tom scenic outlook...

we left early in the morning before the heat of the

day was too overwhelming!

Thank goodness we carry a pocket knife 

in the diaper bag...

the kids each had to carve their names on the wood floor.

This is something I would typically not let them do,

but a few years earlier the aunties did it,

and Elsie thought it sounded so neat

that she begged to do it too.

After climbing Mt Tom,

we went to the interpretive center...

{which is a fancy way of saying museum!}

when we first got there,

Jon accidentally locked the keys in the car!

{this happens to him often and he wasn't too concerned!}

Thankfully I had my phone,

so I sent a mass text to everyone and asked them to 

bring a clothes hanger!

While we waited for the clothes hanger,

we took selfies

and toured the little museum.

Thankfully Daddy has lots of experience

with opening car doors with hangers

so we were able to carry on with our day in no time!

After getting back to the camp site,

we pretty much hung out at the beach all afternoon.

It was quite hot out,

so sitting by the beach was lovely!

There was a little gift shop right next door to the beach,

so we made a couple trips in there 

for Rock Candy on a stick!

We all tried out the kayaks!

All three of the kids loved kayaking!

And yes, I gave Jon heart-failure when I plopped Angelina in the 

kayak with me...

but she loved it and didn't want out!

The beach was so relaxing that some people

even took a little nap...

We do not pack light.

ever.

The stroller had no room for the kids even!

Everyone was in charge of their own meals...

but somehow everyone usually ate in the same place!

*find Margot!

Papa Wayne's hammock was the most 

coveted spot to lounge!

Elsie was bored and was being entertained by selfies!

For further entertainment, Elsie 

decided to do a little photo shoot of me...

and the flamingo!

Elsie has perfected the art of 

Crossed Eyes!

Freaks me out every single time!

Sparklers, campfire and glow sticks to end the evening!

Another great day Camping...
