Moose Hillock August 2014

Last August we packed up our travel trailer (aka The Wolf) and headed up to Moose Hillock in the Lake George / Adirondack area of New York State. 

Since Freddy and I have been scheduling our camping trips for 2015 I couldn't resist going back over our pictures from this camping trip. For Christmas I made Freddy photo books of our camping trip I figured now is a good a time as any to share them here.

Our family loves camping so much. Brady asks me everyday how many days until our next camping trip.  BTW our next trip will be to Cape Hatteras and it can't come soon enough!

But for now Moose Hillock where camping is REAL camping. Okay maybe it isn't real camping when you drive around with a super comfy travel trailer, but at least you feel like you are out in the woods with lost of room to spread out.

Stepping out from our site there are about ten camp sites in each direction. Can you see them???? NO isn't it great... so much privacy.

Rudee Tudee was on extra good behavior as always.

Off to the pool. 

The week we stayed was Western Week. They had lasso and line dance lessons, pony rides, Bingo, costume contest and a wild west round up. Just to name a few of the activities. 

Tiny didn't win the costume contest, but he was sure cute in my eyes.

The days were warm and bathing suit weather. I even spent quite a bit of time sun bathing at our site. But at night we cuddled up in our sweatshirts and sweatpants and cuddled up by the fire. It was just cool enough outside that the fire felt so good!

My boys can spend hours upon hours playing in the dirt. I think on this day Tiny was discovering hundreds of dinosaur teeth :) 

Seriously happy kids!

Tired pup.

The pool is heated!!! And sooooo much fun.

You can even go swimming at night!!!

There are two slides and I think my kids went down them one thousand times. I think I went down them a several hundred times :) So much fun!!!!

Like I said the campsites are very large and private. We have some friends that live in the area and I think we had 4 large trucks on our site at one time and you wouldn't have even noticed them since we had so much room in the back.

The view from the back our of site. Like I said SOOO private. The campground is on a mountain so the streets are all on different levels so all the sites are staggered and it makes it feel so private.

I can't express how much fun we had there. We can't wait to go back again. 

Moose Hillock Part I

I have been trying to settle back in to the swing of things since our past camping trip. I came home to a computer that couldn't find it's hard drive and my unwillingness to sit in-front of it to fix it. But I am happy to report I am up and running again.  Now we are getting things ready for Tiny. He is having his tonsils out in a few days and we are planning on spending the next few painful weeks cuddled on the couch.   Plus we are making him his own room! The boys have preferred to be in the same bed, but since he will need to rest and take it easy I know it will be better that they aren't jumping around like monkeys at bed time. At least for two weeks.

I have wanted to share pictures from our wonderful camping trip to Moose Hillock in Fort Ann, New York.  I finally decided to pick two days worth of pictures and share them now! I'll be back to share more of the campground and our adventure when I find the time.

Our campsite was beautiful! It was huge, private, full of birds, flowers and plants. The ground is covered in rocks and Tiny spend a lot of his time searching though the stones to find Dinosaur teeth (aka all the pointy rocks).

This is a view looking out past our site from the back. I was standing on a three foot hill to take this picture. Look how far the other campers are from us! Can you see them?  The campground is built on a mountain so the sites are on all different levels which helps with the privacy. I loved it!

We brought our American flag, steer head with lasso and solar lights. We knew the site would be large and we were glad to have the extra light. 

Pictures can't show how nice our site was.

Stepping back out onto the road from our site this was the view to our right. 

Look really far away there is a car. I swear we weren't the only ones there! There are probably eight or ten sites all hidden in those woods.

Off to the pavilion for some candy bar bingo and costume contest.

Despite his look in this picture Brady had a blast!

The pool will get it's own well deserved post. It was AMAZING!

While we were there it was a Western Theme. Tiny picked out his boots online and we ordered them before the trip. We went shopping and he pick out a shirt. He had his gun and hat from our last camping trip.

We were so close to winning the Candy Bar Bingo grand prize of 48 candy bars! I wish I had Tiny on video he was so excited each time they called a number.

How stinkin cute is Tiny up there. He had to have red short because red is his favorite color. He was so proud to stand up there. Brady wanted nothing to do with the costume contest.

Does anything beat kids being kids! I love seeing so many kids having so much fun.

He didn't win, but I got him a candy bar anyway :)

Night time at the campground is amazing. The huge trees, moon, stars and oh the pool was soooo cool.  We would start our campfire then head to the pool for some night swimming. The whole pool would be glowing. We would take tons of trips down the slide then back to our site to warm up by the fire.

Camping at it's finest!!!

I still have a lot more to share, but at least I shared a taste of it!

I'll write up a whole review after I share all my pictures. But I can say now that we loved it and I'd love to go back again.
