We've been talking about adding some sort of little sink for tooth-brushing before bed for some time now. Sometimes the bath house is just so far away after a nice glass of wine or beer around the campfire ;)
So after noodling on different options we finally came up with a solution - a mixing bowl that drains into a small, portable gray water container and a soap/lotion pump for the water source. We have our Cabela's camp kitchen for dishes, so this literally is just for brushing teeth and rinsing my fingers before handling my contacts...so a tiny amount of water is perfect. I'd say the pump container holds about 16-18 oz. And if we need to refill it every day, so be it...but during our prototype trial in the bathroom at home we were all three able to brush our teeth for two nights with the amount in the full bottle.
Viola! No winterizing or anything to mess with, but the convenience of a little spit sink!

VT - Silver Lake State Park
We were on site #36. A nice long site above a tight curve in the loop, so it gave Morgan a nice perspective to see everything. The sites are all pretty much terraced in this pretty campground. A babbling brook runs between many of the sites (great for catching crayfish and salamanders.)
Another view of the site - from the road.
This park has a great day use area with a nice swimming beach.
Yes, Theo is climbing UP the pole - feats of strength!
Morgan was allowed everywhere in the park except the sand beach. And she really was getting around well!
We visited Sugarbush Farm for some agritainment. We took a maple walk and learned how they tap trees with hoses, tasted different grades of maple syrup, and tasted a bunch of different cheeses. Theo also fed some animals and met this calf named Paul. Morgan was allowed everywhere here as well, except of course the tasting room and shop!

NY - Fish Creek Pond
We had a great site - #217, on the shore of Square Pond. The shores of Square Pond and Fish Creek Pond (connected by a small narrows area) are all edged with campsites at this big campground. As we biked around we decided we had one of the best sites (thanks to the help of fishcreekpond.com, I chose a good one when booking 9 months out!), although with almost all of them on the water you can't go wrong if you like boating and swimming.
We had a perfect little nook near the water to hang a hammock. Theo fell asleep in it two of the nights!
Take a look at this...now we're talking! A nightly ice cream truck - with real ice cream! Yeah, we'll be back to this campground for sure!

CT - West Thompson Lake Campground

We had a great weekend at West Thompson - the weather was spectacular! Site #5 this time for the electricity for my dad's CPAP. Yes, we let them have the camper (with Theo and Morgan) while Kevin and I tented it.

NH - Moose Hillock Campground

We had a great time here! What a great balance between woodsy, rustic, and natural mixed with amenities and meticulous grounds! We were on site #45, which was really convenient to get to the pool and playground (and near a bathhouse too.)
