Best S'mores EVER

On our first camping trip of the season we managed to bring everything we needed BUT chocolate for our s'mores.  I could not believe this, how can you have s'mores without the chocolate?  The answer: Oreos.
We always pack Oreos with us when we camp and it turns out they make better S'mores than the traditional graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow treat.  It was the BEST S'MORE EVER (especially when Mint Oreos are used).

How to make an Oreo S'more:

Step One: Open bag of Oreos and remove an oreo from bag

Step Two: Twist off top of Oreo and place on plate or side of chair for later

Step Three: Open marshmallow bag and put marshmallow on stick

Step Four: Roast marshmallow to perfection

Step Five: Put roasted marshmallow on one side of oreo then place other side on top of marshmallow to make sandwich

Step Six: Enjoy best S'more ever made

 Time to Roast

 Looks yummy.  Do I get one?

 Expert Roaster (Orange line is our fire safety DO NOT cross line), worked great.

 First Bite

 It sure is good

 Okay maybe Jumbo marshmallows were not such a good idea

Oreo S'mores are good

Prince William Forest Park Camping

Our first camping trip of the season was over Easter weekend (yes I am terribly behind in my blogging) and we headed to Prince William Forest Park.  We had a bit of an adventure getting there as traffic was terrible and the clouds were getting pretty dark.  We did have a bit of rain and had our first meal in our tent trailer but the rest of the weekend was quite nice despite a wet forecast.

This was our first camping trip of the season and our first camping trip as a family of four and what amazes me most is how well of a packing job we did (considering how disorganized I've been).  We only missed a few things (one being chocolate for smores but I'll get into that in another post).

Callen's first camping trip was super smooth with no major sleeping issues.  He did get up a few time in the middle of the night but he was in our bed so it was easy to calm him back down or feed him if needed.  Camping with a baby in a camper is really easy.  Hopefully we'll have lots of trips this summer.

 Yum (Callen's 3rd day of solid food)
