The EXCITEMENT:
It is a good thing the campground is only 30 minutes from our house because I don't think Jackson would have lasted any longer. He couldn't wait to go camping! We stayed in the Boo-Boo cabins. They had two rooms with a wall A/C unit in each room.
Every where he went Jackson had a smile on his face and was usually running!
The BEARS:
One reason we wanted to go to Jellystone is because we knew he could meet Yogi Bear. This is his favorite full length movie. When he finally meet Yogi he acted all shy!
Waiting to meet another bear,
it was Cindy!
He also got to meet Boo-Boo. Then he was way to shy to go by both, so I had to go too!
The other ACTIVITIES:
We played a few holes of miniature golf. On Jackson's first hole he got a hole in one! He must be a Hartzler!
He also got to feed a few goats and donkeys.
During craft time Jackson colored a picture and entered in the coloring contest. He won! He loved his prize!
We went very low key on meals. We weren't sure if we could make a fire because of the drought. We mostly used the microwave in the cabin. Hamburgers were cooked on the griddle, this was interesting! We ate breakfast and dinner on Saturday outside. We needed to jump in the pool after each meal!
The WATER PARK:
We spent the majority of our time here. When in the water you forget that it is 100 degrees outside and you are not sweating!
Jackson went down the tube slide with Daddy many times. It is pretty funny how they face and had motions are relatively the same when exiting the slide!
Jackson wanted to go down the "flying" slide. Daddy did take a turn and Jackson laughed the whole time he was coming down.
The TREATS:
Of course, we had to have a few treats while we where there.
The NIGHTS:
Jackson led the way with his flashlight. We watched a little bit of Yogi Bear outside Saturday night.
Jackson slept on one of the top bunks in the cabins. He enjoyed sleeping up there, but was scared to sleep in that room by himself.
The GOOD-BYES:
(Note to Self- Grow out back of hair because you can not put it in a ponytail and when you do not blow dry it you look absolutely ridiculous.)
The OVERALL EXPERIENCE:
Even though Jackson didn't experience sitting around a campfire, smores, or pudgy pies, I am pretty sure he had a great 1st time camping. He did not like all the dust and dirt. "It's dirty!" Those are the words we heard most often from him.
And camping is not complete without-
All the camp laundry is done, the house is picked up, and lunches are packed. It is back to reality tomorrow! What a great summer it has been!

Sounds like you really had a great time. I'm glad that both of your get-aways were so great. You deserve it after the honeymoon fiasco! HA! Luv you!
