camping trip to Luray!

In an attempt to get caught up on blog posts (thanks for the push, Chris), I am realizing I never blogged about our totally awesome camping trip to Jellystone Luray back in early August. Shame on me!  It was such a fun, awesome week spent with my Mom and Robby, and with some friends of ours, the B family.  It was spectacular!

This was our super cute camping cabin. Will be hard to tent camp ever again, after having A/C, a fridge, a real bed and our own bathroom!  Mom and Robby had their trailer right behind our cabin so we were close by and ate all of our meals together!

 

Our cabin faced towards a huge field where the kids could play and run!

The boys played laser tag everyday!

Inside of our cabin..

Outdoor group cooking...

 

Cornhole!

 

My friend S at the bonfire...

She made awesome Jello shooters!

 

best waterslide ever!

 

 

We played games during 'happy hour'

 

And played kickball, baseball, and soccer

 

My Mom made a totally awesome bubble solution that made GIGANTIC bubbles!

We rented golf carts for the week, one of the best parts of the trip!  We were constantly taking spins around the campsite, the kids loved it.

 S made brownies that looked like hamburgers...

 

 

We even watched the season opener Redskins game outside...

 

On Friday (day 5) we checked out of the campsite and stopped at Luray Caverns on the way home. Fantastic!

Such a great vacation... it was close, easy, relaxing and not too expensive either.  I think we'll do it or something very similar next summer!

Camping Love!

Last weekend, we took a family camping trip to a campground that was new to us - Jellystone Luray.  We had a big group join in for the fun and it was fantastic - the best camping trip so far!  Great campground, great friends and just an overall GREAT time!  We're so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family.  Including were Mom and Robby, Chris and Jessica and the twins, the Stierle family and the Townsend family. The kids all got along so well, and there was plenty to do for everyone.  It wasn't the warmest, sunniest weekend but that didn't matter!  Of course, renting a couple of golf carts for the weekend only added to the fun of campfires, jumping pillow, hay rides, swimming, fishing, golfing, mining for crystals, laser tag and cooking in the great outdoors. We all came home filthy and exhausted but it was worth it!
