Pack Family Camping 2014

My <3 of camping has been restored!  And, surprisingly, I was tenting when it happened!  I am sure the GORGEOUS weather we had had something to do with it...but camping with friends is such a fun experience!

This past weekend we went camping with Cub Scout Pack 126 at Canandaigua KOA.  It was a perfect weekend balanced with down time and fun activities.  This was Evelyn's first time camping and she adjusted to the new environment like she had been doing it her whole life - granted - we did camp a lot when I was pregnant with her...

The food, of course, is always a highlight when camping.  Our menu included some of the typical favs:

~Breakfast~

- Pancakes

- Sausage

- Bacon

- Fruit

- Cathy's Camping Eggs (see recipe below)

~Lunch~

- cold cut sandwiches

- chips

- cheese & crackers

Grilled Zucchinni with Ultimate Steak
Seasoning on it!

                                            ~Dinner~

- Hamburgers

- Zwiegles Hotdogs

- Salt Potatoes

- Simply Vegetarian Bean Salad

- Grilled Zucchinni

- Chips & Dip

~Desserts~

S'Mores!

The boys had a great time exploring the ropes course that was at the campground and hanging out in the tree house, too!  There was also a jumping pillow to bounce around on.

                      

 

A fishing derby was a success for some scouts and others were just getting their lines wet with the idea of fishing - a great learning experience for all!

              

                                                   

                                                   

 Water wars and a leather craft also filled up the Saturday.

So many wonderful memories that our children made!  It makes my <3 smile as I watch them explore life.  Of course, there are always limits to test and lessons to be learned, but what a fabulous experience for us all!
