Spring Break...about time...

We left Clayton shortly after 4:30pm on Thursday night for Virginia Beach. After driving all night, we finally arrived at the campground, quietly went into the camper and got some shut eye. The sun was shining, and we had lots to do before the Easter Bunny could come. It was a kind of lazy day, since we were a little tired. Salt, Kriston and I put up the tents, blew up air mattresses and got ready for the busy week ahead. Mike, Robin and Rachael spent the night in a tent also. We had a campfire and cooked S'mores. Saturday was a different story. The campground had some activities for the kids staying there. It started on Saturday with a scavenger hunt. The participants had to use the words EASTER SCAVENGER HUNT. We didn't win, but it was fun coming up with words and the corresponding item to bring back to the pavilion. Then there was a bounce house that the girls participated in. The girls rode their bikes all over the campground until it started to sprinkle. We went inside started to put the Easter Bunny House together. Something we learned--heat does not help the icing set. The walls kept falling in and the roof kept sliding off. I sat at the table holding the roof on while the icing set up a little more. However, it did turn out nice and the girls had a fun time decorating it. We were careful to make sure that the girls had equal amounts of candies to decorate the house. Once the rain stopped, it was time to color the eggs. Outside was the only place to do this activity. They had a good time and did not really want them used for anything.
The rain stopped just in time for the hay ride. It went all around the campground. There were some nice looking campers. Once the sun went down, there was a flashlight lollipop hunt. Mike, Kriston, and myself followed the kids and were able to find some lollipops and other pieces of candy. And of course, the Easter Bunny came. All of the toys that were received were used that day. A family egg hunt followed, along with a campground egg hunt. Will post more later from what was done over the week.
