Cunningham Falls State Park

Maybe I will be able to start blogging again.
Last weekend we went camping at Cunningham Falls State Park. This was our fifth year camping there and we had so much fun. 

We enjoyed the short hike to the falls.

And we saw this black rat snake.

Josiah liked being in the backpack carrier.  It was about 4:00 in the afternoon and we were afraid he would fall asleep but he didn't.

On Saturday night we went to hear the park's naturalist talk about four owls that are native to the area.  It rained through the entire presentation but it didn't rain hard.  We all liked seeing the owls and we got to hear this horned owl hooting. 

Josiah loved everything about camping.  I think he had the time of his life.  He got to play outside the entire weekend with me following him around trying to keep him safe.  Chris had to do all the setting up, cooking, cleaning, and packing up to go home.  He would do that anyway but I couldn't really help him because I had to keep up with Josiah.

We let Wesley try coffee for the first time.  He said he liked it.  Chris didn't want to put too much creamer in it because he was hoping Wesley wouldn't like it.  Wesley hasn't asked for it since then. 

We took a few toys for the kids to play with while camping.  Wesley spent a lot of time riding his bike.  He also played soccer with some of the other kids.  All of the kids played with the stomp rocket. 

We spent most of Sunday playing at the lake.  I love seeing Wesley and Josiah playing together. 

Chris canoed with Wesley and Lydia.

Josiah had fun getting in and out of this kayak.

I kayaked by myself since they only had one person canoes.  I loved that half hour of alone time!

Lydia played with this boy almost the entire day.  His family was camping in the campsite behind us and the two of them hung out a lot. 


 
We didn't get to have a campfire on Sunday because it rained from 8pm to 1am.  After sitting in the van for an hour, we all just went to bed at 9:30.  The next morning was dry and beautiful so we fed the kids s'mores for breakfast.  We made Peyton ask his mom if he could have a s'more for breakfast. 

I hope I will be able to convince Chris to go camping at least one more time this summer.
