What is camping all about?

What is camping all about? We went camping this past weekend up in the Adirondacks, and this is what we found that camping is all about:

Hanging out in the hammock a lot

Helping out with little brother

Late nights at the fire

Practicing crawling skills

Playing in the dirt - a lot

Eating yummy camp food like corn on the cob

Having dutch oven treats with the family (chocolate cherry cobbler)

Semi-nude wading/swimming

Quietly observing a mother duck and her ducklings

Eating GIGANTIC marshmallows by the pound

And having tons and tons of laid-back fun. Bringing a 10-month-old had it's challenges, but all in all, it was a terrific weekend - I love camping. :)

Snacktime!!

Okay, so I know I've posted some weird ideas for snacks on here before, but I'm telling you - this one is a winner!!! All you need are these three thing:

Okay, so I'm sure that most of you have heard of indoor s'mores - this is a twist on that.

Take a full sized graham cracker and break it into two square pieces.

Spread one square with peanut butter, set aside.

Put one marshmallow on the other square and put it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds (depending on how strong your microwave is), until it puffs up all huge.

Take it out of the microwave, and put it together with the graham cracker with peanut butter to make a sandwich.

Voila! You now have peanut butter indoor s'more. This is soooo delicious (not exactly healthy, but that's now what I was going for here) and so fast and easy!! Satisfied my sweet tooth just wonderfully the other night and thrilled my girls to no end.

Try it - you'll love it!!
