We are about to spend two nights camping at Santa's Village in Bracebridge. My kids have been looking forward to this since I told them. Every day my daughter asks me if we are going camping today. It is sweet. I tell her how many days, and she counts it out on her fingers. The next day, though, she will ask me again. Is it today we are camping?
Currently, we are experiencing torrential, yet short, downpours as thunderstorms are passing through our neck of the woods. From the forecast, I think we might be safe during our short stay in Whispering Pines. Camping in the rain is not a fun activity. Unforunately, the lack of rain means a fire ban, so no campside smores, or fire roasted weiners. We are only going to spend one day at Santa's Village. The other day we will use to explore Bracebridge.
I am excited to see how things go. If we can handle a two day trip, maybe next summer we can expand. Yup, we are kind of newbies when it comes to camping. I used to camp a bit in university, but I was always with more experienced people, and borrowed their gear. I have done multiday canoe, and kayak trips as well, but that was 10 to 15 years ago. My husband and I have never gone camping together, on our own. We have never taken the kids camping either. I am hoping this will change.
Here's to new and exciting adventures as a family. Yeah, it just car camping, and the campsite is super close to town, and there is a pool and an amusement park next door, but it is our first time camping as a family, and I am making a big deal about it!
