Day 187
















Day 3 of camping including a move. We had originally only planned to stay 2 nights but we were having so much fun we decided we would pitch our tent and stay 2 extra nights. But first we started the morning by having breakfast with Santa. The KOA in Wilmington New York is only about 10 minutes from the North Pole, the theme for the weekend was Christmas in July. Both kids were a little scared of Santa and Logan would not even get close to him. Emma even won the raffle prize which was a ornament and I was able to snag a picture of that. After breakfast Matt had the cabin all packed and ready to move to the tent site. By 10 AM we were all set up. During nap time Matt took Emma down to the sports area to do a Christmas Ceramic Painting craft which is so totally up Emma's way. Since we had not planned on staying the extra 2 nights we made the long drive to Saranac Lake to buy groceries and see about a air mattress. Once we made the 40 minute drive back to camp we realized we somehow did not grab the bag with the hamburgers and chicken in it. Thankfully, the KOA has a snack shack so we grabbed a quick supreme pizza and enjoyed dinner before Emma and I went to the ice cream social. So, at this point in our camping trip no one but me had taken a shower and we were running out of clothes. After ice cream Matt and I got the kids and ourselves showered and I was able to start a load of laundry. (My kind of camping provides hot showers and laundry facilities) It was rather late by this time so Emma and Daddy cuddled up next to the fire to read some books until Emma's eyes were so heavy she was about asleep. Matt and I ended the night playing Skip Bo next to the fire before I fell asleep in the chair:)
