Home away from Home

Yes, she is a goof ball!

Here we are all set up, it isn't the prettiest campground site but it is the biggest and it easily accomodates the three tents, we were down one from last year, Scottie wasn't able to make it, there is one site that I would love to get that overlooks a meadow and in the distance you can see the elk and deer grazing, one year it will be mine.........................~smile~

This is Little Man's first time out in a kayak and he did phenominal! His first time out he went to the other side of the lake and back, we were all impressed! Fishing wasn't so great though, it was on the hot side so they had fun collecting the crawdad's but decided to let them go instead of cooking them.

And Mandi was just a trooper the whole way! She allowed the fellow kiddy campers to walk her around on the leash only so far, she was not going to be taken out of sight of her people, and as soon as we pulled in it was a minor search for her leash as we knew she had to be on one and of course the campground hosts were right there to let us know that she would be picked up if we didn't get one on her asap! Since she would not go wandering from us I deemed her 'on a leash' so this is how she got around!

And once it was time to load back up and she was utterly pooped out and promptly plopped herself in the cool shade!

It was probably the most relaxed camping trip that we have taken, now that the kids are old enough to get around it made for an extra nice time, they would just hop on a quad and go to the lake or just ride around some of the trails that we know and enjoy the scenery, William wasn't to sure if he would be able to get around well on his dirtbike but he did just fine and was thrilled to be able to go with the big boys!
We did make a quick run into Flagstaff to Target, Levia decided she wanted a new tent and it just happened to be across the street from the Campus Coffee Shop and the Breve was just like I remembered! Delicious!!

Had to smile about Mandi and the leash issue. My dog was like that (she LOVED to come camping with us!) and being the good dog she was, I wouldn't have bothered to leash her, until a ranger came by. We let the leash drag around until it manage to snag somebody's stray fishing hook. I'm just grateful it was on the leash and not her paw!
