It is that time of year. Time for our annual camping trip with friends. This year Lefayette State Park in New Hampshire. This year Little Man and I arrived before everyone else, set up tent and had a fire blazing before any of the boys could get there and take over the camp fire building.
The first full day we hiked up to Lonesome Lake. It was beautiful at the top. However, it was not how I remembered it. The little Appalachian Mountain huts that used to to be, have now been replaced by a fancy bunk houses in the woods, with running water and everything. We almost stayed to wait out a thunderstorm on its way, but a friends handy Doppler Radar app told us it was going to miss us, and we headed down the mountain for ice cream.
The second day we headed over the Flume Gorge for some more hiking. While there we discovered that New Hampshire has it's own passport program. Did I mention we are camping with the friends we were with a week ago? There are now four different passport books in my car, and my son is obsessed.
Once we finished our hike we went river swimming. The kids discovered just how cold a mountain stream can get. I told my child if he went under, he would earn his marshmallow privileges back (he lost them earlier). Of course he took me up on the dare, and the other two older kids followed right along after. And so it begins.....
It was a great weekend with friends.
