We had a wonderful weekend camping in NJ with Patti, Ernie & Louie!
This is the campground: http://www.camptaylor.com/
We also went to the wolf preserve -- it is on the campground property, but run by different people: http://www.lakotawolf.com/
I didn't take my camera to see the wolves because it was raining. Ernie did and he took some amazing shots! It was really special to see the wolves -- were very close, waiting for their treats (not like a zoo). Gabriel didn't have the attention span to listen to all of the stories about the different wolves, so we had to do some wandering around on our own, but he enjoyed it. They also had bobcats and foxes, which were neat to see up close, too. The tour guide was hand-feeding them. Gabriel wanted to bring them all home as pets!
The campsite! #85 DeVletter mansion on the right, Scotton mansion on the left.
First order of business,making a fire (thanks to Noelani!)...
to roast hot dogs!
Is it done yet?!?(we also roasted marshmellows, of course, but there is no photographic evidence)
2nd order of business: setting up the tents. Here, Ernie and Louie are working together. Noelani and Gabriel put our tent up together.
Possibly my favorite shot: G watching L play gameboy, protected from the rain
Another great family moment: we all played a game where one person picks a card and it has one word on it and they read it out. Then another person (or everyone!) sings out a song with that word in it.
G is learning to read, so some words he knew...
And some he needed help with.
Louie knew all the Radio Disney songs!
Final shot of G, considering potential songs (thanks to my zoom lens).
Close up of the fire (thanks, again, to my zoom lens!).
