Camping at Falls Lake

3. Go camping 4 times (2/4) 

I'm rather shocked, and slightly embarrassed at how infrequently we have been camping since Caleb was born. Glen & I both love camping. It's such a fun, cheap, wholesome way to enjoy time together as a family. We {finally} pinned down a weekend and made plans to camp at Falls Lake Recreation Area. This is the third time we have camped here, it's just a lovely destination and only 30 minutes from home. The last times we camped there were in November & January, so I was excited to enjoy some warmer weather!! 


Camping with a puppy & a toddler was an adventure. There were plenty of potty training mishaps, skinned knees and more ticks than anyone would want. But we all had a perfectly lovely time. We swam, rode bikes, hiked, played at the park, worked together and roasted plenty of marshmallows. Caleb cried when we left, and keeps asking when we are camping again! It was also wonderful being disconnected from our phones & the distractions that come with technology. 


We are already tentatively planning our next camping trip for Father's Day weekend. We have 3 nights, 4 days. I'm considering heading West and taking advantage of our NC Zoo Memberhsip. Or we may stick closer to home. Any suggestions? Anyone want to join us? :D
