Granite Hill in Gettysburg Pa

We went to granite hill for three days and this time we took My inlaws Ann and Lee Perry. again we had good weather it rained monday night but we were still able to stay outside in the screen tent. The site wasn't very big but we were a lone and could see tent campers in the distance so we just took as move room as we wanted really. we only really had enough room for the trailer and the screen tent we parked the cars on the other side of the road. the have a pool there even though it was small it went up to nine feet at the deepest end and 3 feet at the more shallow end.
Monday during the day we went int to town to brush up on our history. They built a new visitor center there with a book store, a restaurant, a museum, and theatre. we took the wagon and opted out of the stroller and we had plenty of room to wheel the kids around. of course i don't have any picture because my camera died as soon as we got there. but it was a very nice weekend and we cooked everything outside and weren't in the trailer most of the time so i had hardly any mess to clean up. we played uno I won by the way and roasted marshmellow and made pizza sandwiches over the fire.
oh i don't know if i mentioned it before but 9 times out of 10 we also take our chocolate lab with us on all of camping trips. her name is Elle and she's 4 years old shes pretty good most of the time but we did have an incident in Frontier town she had the hershey squirts and we had to keep her outside for 24 hours so she wouldn't poop in the trailer again.
So next month we're going to Haprers Ferry and Gettysburg battlefield resort and somewhere else that were not sure yet. 2 straight weeks of camping should be fun I'll remember to charge my camera this time

Frontier town In Ocean city Md






















Hello to all you people who don't exist yet. Fronteir town was beautiful. despite having to walk a mile to get to the water park (which Mckenzie loved by the way) it was really nice. we had a beautiful site close to the water and the pool. we were able to fit the trailer two cars a screen house a put put tent for kenzie and all of our camping chairs at the site and still have plenty of room to build our camp fire without burning anything to the ground. we had nice weather all week two which was a saying something because we go every year and the past two or three years its been cold and raining.
we did all the usual OC stuff ; thrashers french fries, Fischers pop corn, luvs funnel cake, the boardwalk, rides. we didn't mini golf but i suck at that anyway LOL. we went to the Frontier town water park two days and the to the town once and got on the train and saw the shows and the rodeo. Mckenzie rode on a very small pony and Jp got pulled around in the radio flier wagon we bought a couple of years ago for kenzies first birthday.
As i mentioned on the previous entry i took my friend Kate and my brother Bernie with us on this trip which happen to be a big mistake 6 people in a trailer for a week is not what i call fun. and i would never do it for a week ever again. by the end of the trip i wanted nothing to do with Kate and i wanted to kick my brother in the , pardon my french, balls. By the way they've been hanging out a lot the last 4 weeks and are thinking about dating but that has nothing to do with my camping blog. but i will say that i think it is a bad idea... just my opinion sorry Kate.
So all in all we had a wonderful time in Ocean city we got to hang out with a lot of friends from the fire department because that was fire week down there we enjoyed spending quality time with our kids and we would definitely go back next year .
