Knowing the arrival of Johnny was fast approaching, we decided to go back up North to the ADK and get some last minute traveling done before we became tied down with our new baby.
Limekiln Lake was the only campground with availability left.
And... someone has transferred sites when I got there so we ended up with a very private water site! Not too shabby. :)
I had been in Eagle Bay with the kids for most of the week, staying with a BFF, KJ.
So Brian drove up and met us. He set up the entire campsite while the kids and I were at Enchanted Forest Water Safari.
(Which by the way, I vow never to return to there unless it's 80 degrees or hotter. Oh... and it's not windy! Because being there on a windy and 69 to 71 degree day is NOT fun for adults.... and it's a farce to say that their water is heated. No. It's. Not!)
But I kept a smile plastered on my face and the kids had a great time.
We arrived at our site and the kids were in love!
Water. Fire. Tents. Marshmallows. Dad. Boat. Seemingly tame Chipmunks.
What was there NOT to love!
Fire Boy here loves to set his marshmallows on fire and then walk around using it as a torch.
After a good, and full, nights sleep it's wonderful to wake up to Brian making bacon and eggs on the grill.
And yes, the camping trip would not have been complete without Fancy Nancy joining us.
The minute we arrived we had two chipmunks that followed our every move.
Brian had packed peanuts so we had a seemingly endless supply of food for them.
Almost eating out of our hands.
Weirdly, my death fear of rodents did not kick in.
I found them "cute".
The kids considered them our pets and were determined to stock their winter food supply themselves.
They were so worried that the little chipmunks were not going to make it through the winter if they didn't give them one more peanut.
So approximately 250 peanuts later, I put my foot down and said enough!
(What they didn't know is that I filled a hollowed out log with many more. I mean.... I wouldn't forgive myself if they were starving in the next few months and I had had the means to help.)
