Fall “Camping”

I can’t say I’m ready to give Dylan and Hudson a real camping experience (still a city girl over here!), so we did the next best thing – we stayed for a few nights at a cute cabin on an extremely kid-friendly campsite in rural Maryland. The boys loved it – we made so many s’mores in our firepit!

Pretty sure Dylan set a world record for 6yo s’mores eating

Don’t be fooled – Hudson did this for about 2 seconds before deciding that he would only eat raw marshmallows the rest of the weekend (much less messy!)

We kicked off our camping adventure with our now-traditional sushi shabbat, but by the campfire this time – see the challah?!? haha

Scenes from our cabin and campsite:

I didn’t expect to be able to do much for Halloween this year, but lucky us – these campgrounds went BIG for the holiday. Every weekend in October they have cabin-decorating contests and campers bring giant buckets of candy for the kids. My little pokemon characters did not mind digging into the candy a couple weeks early 🙂

There was also mini golf, a giant jumping pillow, and a few other ridiculous activities:

We had down time in the cabin too… they are so sweet with each other these days.

On our way home, we had two stops. First: Antietam battlefield! The boys were interested in learning about Civil War history for about 90 seconds before playing chase and jumping in the leaves.

Lastly, we hit up a fall festival outside of Frederick, MD. Turns out there is quite a bit to do in the fall in the middle of a pandemic. No shortage of fun with these two!
