We decided to fit one camping trip in before it go too cold, so we headed up to the Shenandoah National Park. We got there first and picked out too beautiful camp sites. Grayson was so excited as soon as we got him out of the car. The only downside is he figured everyone's campsites were fair game, so we had to keep a good eye on him.
He really liked helping dad set up the tent. He walked around carrying the tent stakes and 'hammering' with them.
Then he started 'hammering' some acorns he found.
As soon as the tent was up, he didn't want to leave. Of course he had to give his daddy a hug because he was so excited.
He really had fun playing with toy cars in the dirt and rocks.
When his friend AJ got there, those two boys had a great time. They loved playing in the tent and with cars around the camp site.
Relaxing by the fire.
Joe being super dad and holding all three boys at once.
It was unfortunately a very cold night, so it was a little rough for little man, but they sure did like sitting by the fire and eating graham crackers.
We tried to keep them warm and even taught them how to put their hands in their pockets.
Overall it was fun, but it was pretty darn cold and we didn't get a whole lot of sleep. We roasted smores on our very tiny fire (the wood they sold was complete crap and we couldn't get it to light) and had hot cider. We tried a new dutch oven recipe for dinner, which turned out very tasty and had amazing sticky rolls, fruit and scrambled eggs in the morning. We will definitely go again, but camping with a little one is a new experience for me, so I will be better prepared next time.
