This weekend we packed the car, and headed to Deland for a camping trip that I have been planning for about 5 months. This was Saiya's first camping trip. She had a blast! Friday night we took the little ferry over to Hontoon Island, where the campsites are and we set up our tents and got everyone settled. The kids were wired from all the excitement so it took them a long time to fall asleep. Saiya and Syrafina shared one of my little kiddie tents (it was the perfect size for the two of them). Saturday, we bought the kids bug keepers and they were all entertained for HOURS playing "catch and release" with various types of critters that would fit in the little plastic containers. Saturday night we roasted marshmellows and played games and then it was off to bed early for the kids. Sunday was a simple day of packing up our gear and heading home. Poor Saiya was exhausted and crashed in bed at 6:30 last night. But she did have fun, we even had a little excitement from the local wildlife!
This was the campsite across from us. The bear found a few yummy things to eat over there!
