Snores & S'Mores 2010


Manchester hosted a camp out in the park yesterday, and it was a great night! The Parks & Recreation Department provided the meals and activities. We brought our tent (thanks, Mannions!) and snacks for the movie.

The Evening Activities:
  • set up our tent on the soccer field
  • cooled off at the pool
  • ate a hot dog dinner
  • went on a s'mores scavenger hunt throughout the park
  • roasted marshmallows
  • ate s'mores
  • created a bubble maker
  • watched The Sandlot on the big inflatable screen
  • fell alseep under the full moon
The Morning Activities:
  • awaken to a flock of geese loudly flying overhead at 5:50am
  • played on the playground
  • ate doughnuts
  • washed down the doughnuts with OJ
  • packed up the tent
  • headed home
Despite the heat (100 degrees) and little sleep (thank you, geese!), we had a wonderful time on our first family camp out; and we are looking forward to the Second Annual Snores & S'Mores next summer!
