Camping - The Dry Run

I call it the dry run as it's the weekend prior to when we leave on vacation where camping will be plentiful.

It's a good thing we went too because it revealed several "holes" in our camping supplies which are much easier to replace at home than out on the road.

This tree was the primary focus of the boys this weekend.  We went with my cousin and her family, which also has two boys.  All four would sit up in the tree for an hour or so at a time. 

This was Robby's first attempt, I believe ever, at really climbing a tree.  His feet are about 12 feet off the ground at this point and he's a proud boy!  Happy to report that there were no injuries, major ones anyway, thru our 40 hours at the park.

This was the other main attraction.  It's a log fence built for parking purposes.  They devised many games to be played on it.

This is from our camp, looking due North with Saylorville lake in the far background.

This was Sunday morning when we were packing up getting ready to head home.  The boys have added a football to the balancing game.

Before we left the park, we drove over to see the Bison and elk.  The elk weren't very impressive, hence, no photo.

One last shot of the four kiddo campers.

One of the coolest trees ever!  This branch hovers off the ground little more than a foot in places but is probably 50 feet long overall.


Oh, and camping with Juno?  Not very fun...   Just in case you were thinking about borrowing her.
