Camping with Cohen

We decided to take Cohen on his first camping trip about a week ago. We had not braved the woods until now because he is such a finicky sleeper...especially during the day. But since he is handling no naps better these days we decided to try it. I love camping and have missed it over the last few years! We thought this fall would be a great time since it would be before the baby arrived and Hector has had some more time off. SO...we packed the truck and headed for the mountains; Fort Mountain to be exact. Here is Cohen rather excited to head out! 

Fort Mountain has some beautiful views! This was just before we pulled into the state park.

 

Cohen loved helping Daddy with the fire!

Our humble little tent site. Cohen was matching quite well. 

Our first night we had Taco Soup; an easy and yummy camping meal!

Here is evidence that I can cook outside. 

Cohen's favorite part...and Mommy's too...was s'mores!

Our second day there it rained all morning, but we braved a couple trails after it stopped. Cohen was really a trooper. I overdid it a little and felt the repercussions for a couple days. 

But it was fun, and Cohen kept us laughing. 

 

Daddy had to assist from time to time when he got tired.

The campsite had a cute little playground that was a nice addition! 

Making big splashes with Daddy. I think he could have done this for hours!

Feeling the water at the boat dock.

 Our last morning was pretty chilly! Here is our little guy all bundled up by the fire. 

And here is our yummy breakfast before we packed up and headed out.

We ended our outdoor adventure with a trip to Hillcrest Orchards to pick apples. However, there were not many apples left to pick, and it was absolutely madness at the orchard. I can't say it was our best idea or that we will be going back, but Cohen did get to pick a few apples for 

some homemade applesauce. 

We definitely made some sweet memories and hope to do it again soon. 

We are thankful to live so close to such beautiful landscape!
