Considering how loud the campground was on Saturday night, sleeping went pretty well for S&Z. Our tent has a zip-up "wall" that creates two rooms, so the kids were on one side and we were on the other. We woke up to a beautiful day around 7:30am on Sunday morning.
Needless to say, everyone was tired after swimming.
S&Z ended up taking a 2-hour long nap after lunch in the tent. Derek and I took advantage of some quiet time to take showers; I even sat by the fire and read a book!
The campground was very peaceful last night and the kids went to bed by 9:00 (although after having taken a 2-hour long nap they played with their flashlights in the tent for quite awhile!).
We were up at 7:30 this morning and packed up to head home after breakfast. The kids did a great job entertaining themselves while we got everything organized. When we got home today Silas said he was "packing and organizing" for a camping trip by himself.
The kids had been itching to go swimming since we arrived, so we threw on our suits and headed to the pond after breakfast. The big milestone of the day was Zoe putting her head underwater and jumping off the dock.
Over and over and over.

It was pretty cool in the afternoon so Derek built us a big fire and kept it going into the night.

The kids had a blast playing with Adrianna after nap.
We weren't really prepared for rain this trip, but it did end up raining a bit during dinner. I joked later that it was a rain "fire drill", and it got us thinking about what we need to do in order to better handle rain that will inevitably be a part of future camping trips.
We spent the rest of the evening relaxing by the fire.

We had such an awesome weekend, I'm so glad we did it! I was a little stressed out at various points trying to plan meals and get everything organized, but we ended up having so much fun - the hard work is totally worth it! Multiple times this weekend Zoe spontaneously said, "I love camping", and both kids have already asked when we're going again. By Saturday night Derek and I were already planning our next trip - hopefully we'll squeeze another one in mid-September!
