A weekend of camping at the Yogi Bear themed camping resort in Pine Grove was the perfect way to celebrate B's official end of summer (he starts school this week). This was both mine and B's first time camping so luckily we were joined by good friends and expert campers K and L.
Our weekend was filled with BBQing, roasting marshmallows for smores, swimming, miniature golf, tie dying, and even making friends with the little boy at the campsite next to us.
The biggest highlight of the trip for B was winning a medal for our group winning first place in the treasure hunt. K and I worked our asses off running (yes, I actually ran!) all through the camp grounds gathering the clues and then deciphering them to solve the puzzle, all with the kids in tow. It was so exhausting but all worth it when we finally came across Yogi's picnic basket and opened it up to reveal the 1st place card inside. Later that night at a communal campfire we were awarded our medals which delighted B and L to no end.
It was a great weekend, we all had a blast and look forward to doing it again next year. For me the trip was also a reminder of what kick ass single mothers me and K are; we put up a tent, built fires, jump started a car, and beat out all the other families in the treasure hunt.
