Camping in PA

We returned yesterday from our first family camping trip. The kids were so excited leading up to leaving, they fell asleep on the drive out. (Note the fully loaded van in the background - I don't think we could have fit in one more thing.):

The tent is set up and the kids immediately took our bed.

We arrived Monday afternoon, went exploring the area and the kids quickly found a playground. Then a petting zoo where the kids got to pet and feed chickens, goats and small ponies.

The next morning we explored our campground, a fun wooden train, we spent a lot of time at this train, it was their favorite part of camping:

And the pool. Miles ready to go swimming:

Quincy done with swimming, just lounging:

And, of course, we ended several evenings roasting marshmallows and sitting around the campfire:
While camping we visited a pretzel factory, where Miles learned how to make pretzels. Quincy only cared about eating them. We also played mini-golf:
We also spent a full, long day at the kid-oriented amusement park, Dutch Wonderland. And much more around the campground. I'll do more posts over the next few days with those pictures.

The kids absolutely loved camping. Quincy cried when we took the tent down, he was just so upset that we were leaving. And Miles was asking when we were going camping again. It was a great week, great family time, and great relaxing time. Here is a picture of the smile Miles had nearly the entire time we were camping:
