A couple of weeks ago we went for a family camping trip to Hocking Hills. It was a bit of a spur of the moment trip but we sure did have fun. We decided for this family trip that we would stay for longer than just one night. It was a good thing too! We loaded up the van and started the 2 hour drive. Only it didn’t end up being only 2 hours. We mapped out our route using Bryon’s GPS. We got part way there and lost all signals. So here we are, in the middle of nowhere Ohio, with no idea of where are supposed to go. We stopped, asked for directions, and stopped on a few convenient hill tops seeking even the slightest of signals. We eventually arrived at our camp site and we were then faced with a new challenge for the night. Setting the tent up in the dark! Bryon had fun. I got supper ready – it was a culinary masterpiece – roasted hot dogs. Yummy! While cooking we realized that we
weren’t the only ones staying in our campsite. We were joined by some of the weirdest, ugliest, biggest bugs I have ever seen in my entire life. When you have a family of 4 girls, bugs aren’t necessarily the best guests. They didn’t enjoy the bugs. Dark, bugs and all – we had a great time.
The first stop after conquering our 3 minute shower mess (that’s a whole other story) and having our dance off (I’ll post those videos later) was Ash Cave. It was really neat to see how these giant caves have been formed. We know that much of the earth was under water at some point and being her
e, you can totally see that. All it was missing was the fish and a shipwrecked boat. Our next stop was at Old Man’s Cave. This was a pretty neat place but was a bit more dry than I think it was supposed to. It was a hot day, so when we got to the end and saw water, the girls thought it would be fun to walk in it. A small water fight pursued – Taylor and Rebeckah got wet and we got some great pictures and videos.
Now, Keleigh wasn’t too excited about the water. But when it came time for Chubby Bunny…..she was all over that like melted chocolate on a smore(which we had right after!)
