Chris, Candice, and Brandon joined us for a camping trip. We stayed at the KOA in Williamsport. What a great campground for the family. We spent one day exploring Paw Paw Tunnel along the C&O Canel. Spent time in the pool and the jumping pillow. Brandon made a new friend. She was really sweet. They had pizza and went to the movies together. They did some craft stuff and there was a pool party one day.

The Paw Paw Tunnel is a 3,118-foot-long canal tunnel on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. It was built to bypass the Paw Paw bends, a six-mile stretch of the Potomac River containing five horseshoe-shaped bends. There are more than six million bricks in the tunnel. Construction began in 1836. It was estimated to take two years but turned out to be a far more complicated project. It did not open until 1850.

We have been to many campgrounds that offered hayrides for the kids but this one offered a wet hayride. We found out that as the tractor pulls the wagon through the campground the campers spray them with water. It was so much fun. I used the water cannon that Brandon got to play with in the pool. Bruce had a hose. Everyone along the route let them have it. Most fun I ever had at a hayride.
It was really a lot of fun sharing our love of camping with the kids. Can't wait to do it again.
