This year, we found a new place to camp. Partly because we lost our spot at Fall River, partly we wanted someplace new. After scouring the website, we picked Council Grove. It's a little less than 2 hours from Doodah and it was a very pretty drive. We got to CG around 3:30 Friday afternoon, set up our tents and got out the food and set out to enjoy the weekend. Our campsite wasn't far from the water.
We had beautiful sunsets (I'm sure the sunrises were nice...I was sleeping then). The first night we walked to the shore and the kids threw in rocks. L had a great time tossing in rocks.
We lit a fire to hang out in the dark and fix smores (a necessity when camping). The kids love to roast marshmellows.
Kam stole L's goggles.
The second night, we had smores with Reeses PB cups, which IMO, are the best way to have smores. Dan made it better by adding a banana to make an Elvis smore. Yummmmyy!
Our tent which was hidden under a tree and in view of the water.
L got this HUGE moth! She walks up to me and says, "look what I found". She shocked both Jeff and I. And to my surprise, she let it go without a fight.
On Sunday, the dads and kids went fishing. L caught a 6 inch walleye (sorry, I wasn't there to catch a picture). She petted it a couple times and tossed it back.
And after all that playing, sometimes you get really tired.
L HATES watermelon. Until she tried it....and now she LIKES it! Go figure!
What a weekend. And no one got sunburns. It was beautiful to hang out with friends in such a pretty place.
