We had a great weekend! Suzanne and I and the girls went camping from Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. It was such a good time to be us. We have camped a lot, but this is the first time we have camped just the 5 of us. Quick run down of highlights:
Friday- arrive, choose site, setup tent, make a fire, explore campground, eat pizza pie irons, eat smores, go to sleep in the tent
Saturday- get up early, eat pancake breakfast, play a game of wiffle ball, take a drive to Russell Stovers candy outlet, eat candy samples, and get some free and low cost candy, drive back to camp, enjoy a simple lunch, play on playground, ride 4 wheeled bikes, ride paddle boat, feed ducks, drive to mall, avoid storm, buy some shoes, ride little train, play in mall play area, look at aquarium, head back to camp, roast hotdogs, ride 4 wheeled bike in the rain and wind, secure tent to trees, secure tent to picnic table, hunker down for the night, receive "knock" on tent door, go to cabin, bounce off the walls, sleep soundly
Sunday- wake up rested, walk to tent, shiver, make fire, make bagels over fire, girls crawl in and out of car, ride 4 wheeled bike, take a paddle boat ride, feed ducks, pack up everything, play on playground, head home
Awesome. We had a really good time together with nothing to do, but whatever we wanted to do. That was a nice change. As you may have noticed, it got a little windy on Saturday night, 36mph, and it got really cold 37 F, feels like 30 F. A nice lady and her husband who Suzanne met earlier in the day, decided to go home early and not stay the night on Saturday. We were planning to stay in our tent overnight and freeze, but they offered us the little cabin they were staying in. It had a full bed, and a bunk bed, perfect for our little family. The girls loved it. The girls really enjoyed the 4 wheeled bike and the paddle boat. It was a cute little KOA in Salina. Check it out sometime. They also have a pool that opens beginning on Memorial day weekend.
