Flowing Lake is my favorite close-enough place, and it seemed like a good time to get out for a few days–the sunniest of 2020, thus far!
The lake is a little too cold for me, but the kids all dipped toes in a few times while I read my book. [I finally finished the one it took me 6 weeks to get through. This camping trip put me back at a book-a-day pace.] I prefer the nature trail and the wooded sites and the kids spent plenty of time there, too.
In fact, one might say Wesley spent half his time in the hammock.
I brought two sisters with me, and Wes taught them all sorts of bad habits, like how to hang upside down.
The girls had only roasted marshmallows before, so we taught them how to roast hotdogs. Piper did graduate level roasting by toasting my bun over fire. De-lish!
Piper had some extra fun when she found that one of the inflatables had a gash too big to repair. How does she wear skirts so well?
I only blog the good parts–hard to take pictures of annoying jibberjabber, or me reminding kids for the 4th time to not leave trash or dishes for me to deal with, but I love my mobile toy! I had my first pull-through space (there is no bad site at Flowing Lake, but I wouldn’t mind getting #29 again!), I did the entire camping trip solo (not counting kids), and the weather was an 11 out of 10. I hope for more of these adventures. Let me know if your kids want to tag along next time!
