Camping anyone?

This weekend, we took the girls camping at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas. We had heard that it was a great place for kids, a true family-friendly campground. And we agree...it was great!

We rented a small cabin that sleeps 4. It had a bathroom (with a very small shower) and a kitchenette. So we weren't really roughing it at all. I figured with two small kids, one still in diapers, I didn't really want to tent camp. Our cabin was right on the fishing pond, which was nice for Kevin.

We did take the girls swimming a couple of times which is not reflected in the photos. I never took my camera because I was afraid it would get stolen or wet. But they had two pools and a little water park area complete with slides. Lena LOVED that part! Macey had never been swimming I'd guess and she was very scared at first. But an hour later, she was going under water and trying to swim on her own. It was so cute!

They also had a craft time each day where you could do a ceramic piece or paint t-shirts, canvas bags, and pillow cases. We went on Saturday afternoon and painted pillowcases. No photos of those either yet, but they are really cute!

It Yogi Bear's 50th birthday this weekend so they had a party on Saturday. Lena got to meet Yogi, but Macey was scared of him (no surprise). The campground provided cake and ice cream and it was yummy!

All in all, it was a great weekend but I was ready to get home. Enjoy the photos...there are a ton!

You all look like you had lots of fun - haven't taken the girlies camping yet. Maybe we'll try this place - I like the idea of having a cabin!
