Stories with Ethan and Ben: Camping

Last week we got back from our 6 night camping adventure. We had a fantastic time. We slept in our tent and had a powered ensuite site. It was very handy to have our own toilet and shower.

During our week we: went swimming, bike riding, fishing, boating, played in playgrounds, jumped on the jumping pillow, played mini golf, did 10pin bowling, had a steam train ride, mini train ride, horse and cart ride, ate freshly picked berries from a berry farm, went to the lighthouse relaxed and had fun.

Below are some pictured from our week

We even played a game of checkers.

And there was also an indoor play room. This campground was fantastic!

We spend many hours in the pool!

One morning we hired (rented) a small boat and did some fishing on the river. It was the boys first time fishing. Ben LOVED it. Ethan got bored quickly and spent most of the 2 hours eating food from our bag! He later said that he did have fun though.Sal caught the first and only fish on the boat

After our 2 hours on the boat, we had some leftover bait, so we fished off the wharf in the afternoon. We got far more bites on the wharf, and caught 3 more fish.

On our last day we visited Timber Town. It is an historical town with lots of old houses, school, blacksmith, wood turners, old fire station, old steam train and that sort of thing. The boys had never seen an historical town, and they really enjoyed it.

Our first sight was the old steam train. We got to take a ride, and it was great fun.
