We enjoyed a wonderful couple of days and nights camping as a family. The first afternoon we arrived the boys and I walked down to the water while Jeff set up camp, and they caught a frog! Ben spied it and Calvin grabbed it. They spent the next several hours making it a sand castle home with a built-in swimming pool and a bridge and a raft, I mean this frog was really living the high life! When it was time for dinner, they reluctantly let him go and we headed back to camp. We had a nice spot under some big cottonwood trees for shade and a large area for us to tie Rambo out on a long lead. We gathered around a crackling campfire and told stories and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows until it was really dark.
First thing the next morning we were all up and dressed for swimming! We brought along a fun little raft for the kids to paddle around in which also doubled as a lawn chair for me to lie down in at various times throughout the day. We ended up playing on the beach and swimming for 9 or 10 hours that day! A long day in the sun, but so much fun! Afterwards we drove over to La Beaus for burgers and shakes. Then enjoyed another nice evening around the campfire. We all slept like rocks that night!
The next day we cleaned up our campsite, and Jeff and the boys headed out to do some fishing. They fished all morning without a single catch, but loved every minute of it! I don't know where they find the patience for it, but they do! We had a nice little lunch then headed home. Im glad we took the time to go camping and make some fun memories!
