1st Camping Trip

Brian and Payton have been participating in Cub Scouts for the first time this year. It's been a good experience so far, but they have really been looking forward to the camping trip. So, last weekend, they loaded up the good ol family station wagon (SUV) and headed out to the Great Wilderness (Ft. Wilderness at Disney, that is).
Fortunately for them, our neighbors are veteran campers and were willing to share their knowledge and more importantly, their food, with Brian and Payton. So, aside from Payton losing his new pocket knife in the woods, and their air mattress deflating half way through the night, they had a perfect 1st camping experience!
Here are some pics...

Payton "whittling" a stick he found with his new pocket knife (before he lost it in the woods only minutes later):

  They had a lesson on fire safety:

 

Payton and his good buddies Quin & Avery:

"The Guys":

The DeAngelos brought their electric griddle and made quesadillas for everyone:

 Of course while you're "camping" at Disney, you have to take the ferry boat over to the resort:

 And try out the pool:

 

 And check out the gift shop...

 (By the way, how cute are they?!?!?)

 All in all, great camping experience! I told Brian I would come along when Parker was a bit older... and as long as he promised me there were clean bathrooms and a place where I could plug in my flat iron. HA! Just teasing... (not really).
