Camping at Pocahontas State Park

This past weekend we took the girls camping with our friends the Porratas. We have been planning this trip for a few weeks now, but a few days out Brandy and I freaked out with the temps projected to dip into the low 30's at night. Eeek that is cold to be tent camping with our little ones!  But we were determined to go  no matter what so we rented a camper for some heat and changed our campsite a few times to find a spot that could hook up the camper, we eventually settled on Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield VA.  I was proud of myself because I overcame the cold and slept in the tent with Nate both nights, we even woke up to frost the first night.  The park was beautiful and was the perfect place to camp for us.

This was taken right after we set up camp. We are the camp set up champs!!

Fond memories!

Lots of awesome trails to hike and bike.  We got lost once for over an hour!

We took the kids Geocaching for the first time. Everyone had a lot of fun doing it, especially my mountain man who loves to explore and hunt for treasure.

This cache was found by Gabey!


Nate pulling Roman and Reagan in the bike carrier as Ramses navigates to the next Cache!

 I was so proud of myself when I found this one!! 

We hiked around Beaver Lake



The mountain mommas!

The kids had so much fun playing on the John Deere.  They explored for hours all around the campsite.



Pretty sure Gabe was saving Aubrey from Zombies here. Those two are so cute together!

Aubrey tore it up on her balance bike!

Nate trying to figure out how much Zeus weighs! I spy some kids on a tractor in the background:)

So many fun memories! We made some great camp food too, it was a successful trip overall.
