Special Trip with 2 of our Grandaughters!

Our youngest daughter, Jamie, brought Bria and Cali to our house at 9 AM on Wednesday for a camping adventure with Grandma and PawPaw until Friday!  Bria is 4 1/2 and Cali was 2 the end of March, so Ken and I knew it would be a busy few days.  We originally planned to take Bria and have Cali join us on Thursday afternoon, but we realized Cali would be devastated not to be with her big sister.  We were happy we decided to have both of them with us the entire time.

We only went about 18 miles from home to a Thousand Trail Resort, Circle M just south of Millersville PA.  It is a nice place for children as far as amenities, but they could do a much better job of maintaining the property.  Upon arrival, you do not have an assigned site, which has its pros and cons.  We really don't enjoy driving around trying to find 2 sites beside or behind each other.  We were camping with our friends, Gary and Marcia and their two adopted grandchilden, Anya and Camrin who are 4 and 7. 

Unfortunately, the weather was not great - warm but cloudy most of the time, except for today when we were leaving.  Last year we had all spent 2 nights there too, and the kids just loved the indoor waterpark that was perfect for the age of the children.  But, this year the waterpark was closed for repairs, which was probably a bigger disappointment for the grandparents than the children. They do have an indoor and outdoor pool, an indoor small maze/ball pit area, and a covered miniature golf course.  So,  we did have plenty to do.  We had campfires both nights complete with hot dog roasting, s'mores, and cinnamon buns in the pie maker over the fire.  The girls wanted to wash dishes outside so they could help, so of course, we had to do that too!











We left around 11:30 today, but not before Cali and Bria and a chance to play some miniature golf.  That was fun!  I am sure there are 2 very tired little girls that are ready for naptime.  They played so hard.
