Camping

I wish we were still there. Such a great time camping, exploring, hiking, cooking, talking, and playing games. We found a great place to go that is less that 2 hours away. Easy access to the site and at the same time you feel so far from it all. We were in Sunapee, NH at the Mt. Sunapee Camp Ground.

The weather was great, sunny, and warm during day and cool enough at night to have to wear a hat. We set up camp pretty easily with our ten person tent, coolers, cook stove, sleeping bags for 10 and various sports equipment.





A hike up Mt Kearsage, another up Mt Sunapee, picnic lunch on the Lake, a penny candy shop in the harbor, charades in the morning, yummy dinners cooked at the camp, playing "3 things" around the fire along while eating popcorn and roasting marshmallows. Ah, the simplicity. The need to work together for firewood, cleaning dishes, cooking, set up and break down is so uniting.





One of the kids stated it perfectly. "Mom we do this stuff not because you tell us to, or because we will get something if we do, but because we know we have to in order to survive. It means so much more and it is fun!"
