Camping plans NOT washed out

We planned a camping trip for the same weekend we picked Sydney up from camp. Dave, Tatum, and I all drove to the Schroon Lake area on Friday and set up camp. We stayed at Jellystone in North Hudson. Finally it wasn't raining and we could have a campfire. Someone forgot to pack the big marshmallows and only grabbed the mini marshmallows. We don't need to talk about how I was in charge of the marshmallows. Ugh. Tatum didn't seem to care - she roasted the small ones anyways.






Saturday morning, we got up and left to go pick Sydney up from camp. We were sooo excited to see her and hear all about camp. She was just as excited to tell us all the good stories. After many hugs and lots of hearing Bye Sydney, we were on our way back to the campground to eat some breakfast. Then Dave put Tatum to work setting up the canopy that is attached to the camper.


It was carnival day at the campground. There were games, food, a bounce house, and a dunking booth. Tatum got her face painted. Sydney had run into a friend from camp that was also staying at Jellystone, so they were off playing games. This was the second person we ran into from her camp at Jellystone.








Video of Tatum in the bounce house.




Off to the pool. I heard the water was FREEZING!!!





There were scheduled games for kids that afternoon. The first was hysterical!! There were teams of partners. One partner had to be blindfolded and feed pudding to the other partner. The partner eating wasn't supposed to move their heads to get the pudding.




Isn't she purdy??


Here are some videos of it.







Sydney got washed up and next was the relay game carrying water in a cup.






Saturday evening was a DJ and dance party. The girls had fun dancing to all sorts of fun music. There was a father-daughter dance.




The girls doing the chicken dance video.



Tatum's turn to take a picture.


Time to go back for our campfire. Syd was exhausted from being at camp all week so she went to bed early. Tatum kept us laughing at the campfire. This video is hilarious!!!!



Sunday we drove to the outlet malls in Lake George since it was raining. Came back just as the rain stopped and had another great evening. There was a movie down at the main building. After that a campfire and to bed.

Goodbye Jellystone.
