Dad decided to introduce Patrick to the wide world of camping this last weekend of May. After one night at the site (Hinsdale Campground, Hinsdale, NH), pal Ed Murray and his two daughters Claire and Olivia joined them on Saturday, along with Dolby the dog.
Friday night, Dinty Moore beef stew and s’mores. Saturday for breakfast, hash browns and eggs!
Saturday was great weather. Here’s Claire, Patrick and Olivia stylin’ poolside.
Patrick enjoyed the flora, fauna, birdsongs, and this little guy who joined us for dinner Saturday.
Ed busted out these monstrous four-foot sparklers for each kid for the big pre-s’mores fireside finale Saturday night, which proved worthy of their placement in the billing.
Claire approved.
Patrick was likewise stoked.
En garde, sista!
Ed impressed us (well, at least Dolby) with his fire-eating routine.
And, because my lame little Canon point-and-shoot does video…and YouTube is free…here’s your gratuitous sparkler video, kids!
