This past weekend we went camping at Oak Ridge with another family. It took 20 minutes to reach the campsite by car after passing the initial gate. The park is massive! The kids collected firewood and made a fire. We had a scavenger hunt, cooked shrimp scampi on an open fire with garlic, butter, sour cream, and Parmesan.
We used our map reading skills to hike through the woods and find an amphitheater and other trails. Sheri brought print outs of ghost stories to tell by the fire after we had our fill of smores.
It started raining around midnight and it got fairly cold – down to the lower 40s. The kids slept through it all as usual and I got more sleep more I normally do when camping – a solid 3-4 hours.
We packed up in the rain and SkyPark wore their PJ’s home – oops I may have forgotten to pack a 2nd set of clothes. Nothing that some hot McDonald’s can’t fix.
