Just a couple weeks ago, we took the kids on their first "camping" adventure. We went to Jellystone park outside of Estes Park with some friends in our neighborhood. (I'm not sure if you can really call it camping if there's mini golf, a swimming pool, playgrounds, crafts, and bathrooms, but we're going to count it anyway.)
The weekend started with the rental of a pop-up camper. Our friends have their own camper, so we thought we would follow the trend rather than tough it out in a tent. ;-) The kids were ecstatic! Once we arrived at Jellystone, with dog in tow, we explored and then started in on the plethora of children's activities available.
The kids got to paint pottery...
play on the playground...
meet Yogi Bear...
play Candy Bar Bingo where Eli won...
get Yogi tattoos...
go on a wagon ride...
ride Go-Karts (OK, so that wasn't actually at Jellystone Park)...
and have root beer floats while watching a movie.
The kids also enjoyed the campsite where the girls colored and played games...
and the boys ran around outside and played in the dirt.Overall, it was a fun family weekend and time with friends. The kids can't wait to go "camping" again!!
