Camping - For Real This Time

A few weeks back we tried to go camping... and failed.  This time Dad prepared and made a reservation.  So down we went to Pohick Bay Regional Park - a little park along the river ~20-30 minutes from our house.  I love camping.  I think this is my 5th time camping (and Amelia's 3rd in under15 months).  It was our first time camping in our new tent - an easy pop-up tent that sets itself up in 30 seconds.

While I helped Dad set up the tent, Amelia played with some cars we brought.  She likes cars.  But I love cars. After the tent was set up, we went to the playground in the campground (not as cool as the one at the park we tried to camp at) and then came back and ate dinner. 

 After dinner we made s'mores... well really we just ate marshmallows.  Amelia had her first 'smallow; she loved it.  In fact, she also had her second 'smallow that night too.  I was a good guy, so Dad gave me a third one.  Maybe that is why it took me so long to fall asleep that night ... I was waiting for my fourth marshmallow.

The next morning, we woke up (although I was still sleepy) and went down to the waterfront where we found some dig trucks.  There was an excavator, a front loader, and a crane truck.  They also had a couple of fire boats in the water.  So much fun and a great end to our camping trip!
