We rented a cabin for the weekend for our first vacation as a family of four. The last time we went camping, Jonah was one and we had a blast so we were excited to go again.
We played bean bag, soccer, and just hung out. The campsite had a swimming pool and we went swimming every day even though the water was pretty cold. The boys didn't mind! We also rented a canoe one afternoon and paddled up and down Miller's Creek. Neither of us brought our phones to take pictures though :( Right as the rental guy pushed us off the bank he warned us to watch out for alligators. Jonah was pretty disappointed we didn't see one but he still had fun.
The big hit for Jonah was fishing. He and Justin found a fishing pole and worms at the camp store.
After a quick lesson, he was ready to go!
Griffin wasn't impressed with fishing. He spent a lot of time holding my hands and walked around the pond.
The pond was stocked with perch and catfish, and both were pretty skilled at eating worms of hooks. Jonah was successful in catching one all by himself!
He also found lots of bugs around the campsite, including a beetle he caught and put in his bug catcher.
Griffin cooled down with some ice one afternoon and was so uncertain about it. He'd hold it and taste it and then scream (I'm guessing from the cold) but then he'd take another taste!
Griffin was as good a camper as Jonah was at this age!
They both had a blast! We cooked dinner every night over the fire and roasted a whole bag of marshmallows.
The weather was perfect the whole time, with only a little rain one evening and there weren't other campers near us so we had a lot of space.
Jonah is already asking to go again! Anyone want to go camping?
