Tina left for Florida on Wednesday of last week, so the boys and I headed to the mountains along with my buddy Phil and his daughter Makenzie and her friend Amber; and my buddy Kyle and his son Jackson.
We camped at R.B. Winter State Park. We had a great time hanging out by the fire, swimming, riding bikes, fishing and just taking it easy. Campgrounds are great places for kids to experience a little freedom and to go off on their own for a little bit.
On Saturday evening, we had a run in with DCNR. Well, not really, but it was rather humorous. Kyle and Jackson were playing Kyler and me in a heated game of backgammon - as Kyle put it, the first ever father and son "campgammon challenge." Our cheering was a little loud and we were told by the patrolling ranger that we needed to keep it down as it was quiet time. Nothing like those father and son bonding moments when you run afoul of the man.
On Sunday after goodbyes and departure, the boys and I headed west to Penns Cave. I've been on numerous cave tours, but this one was the best. What made it so was that you rode through the cave on a boat. The boys' imaginations were working overtime and they had no trouble seeing the various objects created by Stalactites and stalagmites. I think they were also excited by the fact that they just saw Journey To the Center of the Earth last week.
Here are some more pictures of our adventure.

Man, sure looks like it was a good time.
Occassions like this are what makes me crave the east coast and the Alleghenies from time to time.
Glad you had fun with the boys!
Sounds and looks like a good time was had by all. I bet the boys were just smiling from ear to ear. Camping is so much fun and so exciting when you're that young. Nice pics as always. What type of camera do you use?
you got the life man, fishing, camping, and two sons to enjoy it with. I start my tournament fishing back up in 2 weeks...gotta shake the rust off.
Wow, sounds like a great time. Beautiful pics too! Did you end up having any s'mores?
Looking forward to hearing about your up-coming tri in September too!
