Day 4

On Tuesday, there was a flea market in one of the small towns near the campground. A number of us got new sunglasses while we were there.


Colleen's were particularly awesome. Isn't she cute?!!

Like most of the things we did during camping, going to the flea market left us in need of a sweet pick me up.


So of course we biked down to the Corner Store for ice cream!

Day 3

Monday morning we hit Paul Bunyan's for breakfast for the first time this year.


As always, there was a TON of food and it was pretty good. The potatoes are my favorite, but Angela likes the ham. Mom, of course, likes the doughnuts the best.

After such a huge breakfast, we had to do something to work it off.


A nice long bike ride around the lake and campground, with a trip into a few neighboring campgrounds, was perfect :)

Day 2

Due to some car issues, we weren't able to bring the SUV (and by extension, the camper) up right away, so we spent the first few nights in the tent.


Note the red Ford Focus, our "full sized" sedan loaner. lol

There were all kinds of pretty wildflowers around the campground, but these little white clusters were some of my favorites :)


It rained a little during our first morning there, and I thought the flower/shrub was quite pretty with the raindrops still holding on to it.

Fortunately, it didn't rain all day, and I got to take my kayak out for a bit.

This was a huge improvement on last year, when it rained the whole time and we never got to take them out.

First Day of Camping, 2010

Sunday was the first day of our annual family camping trip/mini-reunion. During a walk around the lake, my sisters and I found this:


Someone else must have made it on the beach earlier, and I thought it would be a great way to start off this year's camping pics :)

We started out the trip by celebrating our arrival at the campground, and the fact that we got a pretty sweet site.

Side-bananas are by far the best way to celebrate something.


More from our walk around the beach :)

A quick note

Since I'll be camping for the next week and a bit, I won't be updating the blog until I get back. I'll have my camera for daily pictures, but I won't have any way to upload them. So heads up!
