We had some bad news the other week that made for a grumpy Mr. Man (all is well, no worries). It was just days before we were set to leave on another camping trip. We had made reservations and it was going to be quite a drive up to the lake, because Mr. Man can't fathom camping without a lake (yes we miss the Great Lakes so much!) As we packed up and prepared to go, and then on the 5+ hour drive, Mr. Man kept saying how he hoped this camping trip and location wasn't like the last one or we were just going to turn around and come home. I prayed to God that it would meet his expectations and we could all relax and enjoy our time. This trip was above and beyond what we expected and it ranks right up there with some of our best camping trips EVER. And this gorgeous man couldn't have been happier either... which helps a lot!

We found a cute little beach with a great dock, did lots of bike riding and just R.E.L.A.X.E.D.

The lake was divine and our campsite was basically a resort where you sleep on the ground. There was a great pool for the kids, a hot tub, playground, basketball court, movies to borrow, showers and flushing toilets (totally resort camping) and even electricity so we could keep our new electric cooler running without ice and let the kids have a lazy afternoon with a movie. The town near where we camped was super cute and full of fun little activities too. We spent $2/person on admission to the funnest museum, had ice ream almost every night and even ran into a safety fair where the kids came away with all sorts of bells and whistles, and got to ride horses too.

On the day before we packed up to leave our great campsite, we rented a boat and went boating and tubing. Way too much fun, and memorable as a storm picked up at one point and we HAD to finish our trip to the island in the distance!
I think we will be going back here again and again. Now we're preparing for our last week before school starts and busy painting and doing all those last minute to-do items that are sure to be ignored once we get ourselves on a schedule again. However, we do have one more over-nighter planned when Mr. Man's brothers come for a visit next weekend. Hopefully our camping experiences are on an upward trend.

Oh, man, that looks like so much fun. I just have to know which lake it is and how to get there and the name of the campground. Not that I can go there anytime soon. So glad you were blessed with a camping redemption before summer ends!
great shots on the lake and your hubby is cute- tell him I said so (hah).
