Family Vacation Time.

We went on our first family vacation this year, as just the three of us.  Normally, we have my cousin Andrew and my sister Kendra with us.  To top it off, we went on a mini camping trip!  With an almost 3 year old, I thought it might have ended in disaster. haha.  Addison had the best time ever though!! 

There was a playground across from our cabin and a huge field.  The first thing she wanted to do was run over there.  It was nice because we could just let her run like crazy and not worry about too much.

Lots of campfires for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  She did a good job of staying away from the fire even though Daddy was playing in it.  Haha, she also did NOT like the idea of smores.  She would get upset and cry, because she wanted to just eat the chocolate bar, but we kept melting it on the graham cracker and marshmellow.
I found these amazing wrist bands when I was shopping for camping equitment.  They are bug repellent bands.  They worked out wonderfully because I was worried about spraying her in the face with actual spray.
The best part about everything was the location. 
We are a beach vacationing family, and moving out to Pittsburgh, we are now 7 hours from the actual beach.  Laurel Hill State Park is about an hour away from my house and they have a 1,500 ft imported sand beach around their lake.  It will be nice to take the new baby here next year because a lake has no waves like the ocean does.

Overall, it was a wonderful time!!
