We finally got there, just to be turned away! I kid you not! The park was too FULL, they had a two hour wait just to get into the park- with about fifty cars lining the street waiting their turn! Camping there was out of the question, who knew that EVERYONE would want to go camping over spring break!!!!! Apparently you had to make reservations ahead of time!
So now I have this sweet little boy sitting in his car seat ready to get out and play on the rocks and camp out. When we told him that we couldn't go the tears began to fall, Jared and I felt so incredibly bad!
So instead of camping out at Enchanted Rock we got lunch took it to the park and let him play! We then drove home, ordered a pizza, and camped out in the backyard! I feel that we had almost as much fun as we would have had we gotten into the park! (Next time se are definitely making some S'mores!!!!) We played hide and go seek with just a head lamp, told stories (about the three bears) and slept in our sleeping bags beneath the stars ALL NIGHT! I was pleasantly surprised to see that Connor lasted all night in the tent, however, it did take him a while to fall asleep- a novelty like sleeping outside kept this little boy WIDE awake, playing and laughing! The next morning instead of grilling pancakes on a little camp stove we drove to Star Bucks and had a delicious breakfast! All in all the camping experience turned out very nice, it's a memory Jared and I will never forget! I took pictures of Connor's first camp out, enjoy!
Isn't he just the cutest little camper you've ever seen?!!! :)
