Camping in Hocking Hills

Memorial Day was awesome this year. We went camping with some friends and had a most camp-a-licious time!

Kamden & McKay both had plenty of sticks and bugs to occupy their time.

They actually did pretty good. Kamden asked to go to bed the 2nd night. Yes, he asked to go to bed. He was so tired.

As we went on different hikes each day I was seriously amazing at how beautiful everything was.

I kept thinking not only were the natural structures absolutely breathtaking but the people that FOUND these places and built the trails deserve a high-five for sure.

Ash Cave

(Yes, that is a very small water fall behind us.)

When we got home, I asked Kamden what his favorite part of camping was and he said,
"I burn my finger."

While Jeff was getting the fire going, after many warnings issued by a concerned mother, Kamden touched the metal part of the pit. Yes, it burned his finger and an itty bitty blister formed. I had him sit in his camp chair with his finger stuck in a bottle water, which he did for the rest of the night.

He would take sips of his water throughout the night and by the next morning while eating breakfast, the water level in the bottle was well out of reach. However, insisted on keeping his finger in the bottle.

His finger has heeled but the memory of the burn lives on. :)

"How long have you been here?"
"Many moons..." My angel babyCedar Falls Every hiker needs a good walking stick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're watching a movie while camping.
Don't judge me.

Upon returning home from camping we had some campfire smell that we couldn't get off for days but it was most definately worth it!

When can we go again?!
