Well, we had a successful first camping trip! We left Friday afternoon for Drummer Boy in Gettysburg for our Halloween trick-or-treat camping weekend. Set up went relatively good, although we did have to move our position on the site after trying to get as close as we could to the electric and water, we then realized we couldn't get the slide out out the whole way. But once we were settled, we had a good evening. We made hamburgers for dinner and then built a fire. By that time the kids were getting tired so we headed in to get ready for bed. We put Cody in the Pack N Play and Hannah on the pull out couch which worked out great. They both fell right to sleep and slept through until 8 am! After breakfast we took Hannah to the Build A Bear workshop the campground was having. She picked out a kitty and dressed it as a ballerina and 30 dollars later we went back to the camper!!! It was such a rainy dreary day but we made the best of it. I started making Rigatoni to put in the crock pot for dinner and my parents came to visit. By this time we ate some lunch and then it was time to get ready for trick-or-treat. The rain stopped long enough for Hannah and I to go up and down a few lanes and collect some candy. Jimmy stayed at the campsite and handed out our candy. By then the rain started again. Cody woke from his nap and we dressed him in his Elmo attire. Jimmy took us in the truck so Cody could go a little bit. He wasn't too sure about trick-or-treat. He was a little shy to go up and pick a treat.
Jimmy carved a pumpkin for the kids (which i have to say was very impressive!) After dinner we played some cards and then Jimmy's friend from work came to visit and we built a fire again. The kids played outside a little since the rain finally stopped. In no time it was time to get baths and hit the hay. We had another successful night. Sunday morning after having breakfast we started loading up to go home. We were all wishing we had another day. The kids really enjoyed themselves and were very good the entire trip. We all can't wait to go again in the spring!
