Oct. 28, 2008 - Let's Go Camping...Again.
Since our first attempt at camping didn't teach us anything..we decided to do it again! This time, however, we did a few things differently: We paid a VERY reasonable price to stay in an adorable, cozy family cabin (instead of a tent) complete with things I like. (electricity, heat, and indoor plumbing) We took all of our own food and cooked in the little kitchen. We had a WONDERFUL time, and I'm telling you-if you read this and you live in Indiana (which I'm sure most of my readers do! ;) you have to visit here. There are several really nice trails-along the creek and to the Falls, down to White River and one to Wolf Cave. I believe they also have some that you can bike on-but we haven't tried any of these yet.
We spent the day hiking (down to White River) and though it was a teeny bit brisk, we enjoyed ourselves. We went back to our cabin to rest for the afternoon and Danny and the kids had some rousing rounds of Hungry Hungry Hippos while Mommy took a nap. (!) We took another short walk before dinner and collected items to make this little "wild" turkey:
After dinner, we went across the street to visit our "neighbors" (hubby's brother, my sis-in-law and their two boys!) We had a great evening playing Life while the kids quietly watched a movie, ran around like maniacs and spilled like 200 something drinks before the evening was over, but had GREAT fun playing with their cousins.
It was so nice to "get away from it all" and we will certainly go again...now this trip is defintely my kind of camping! :)

I love the wild turkey. It does sound like a very nice time, Elizabeth.

Glad to see and hear that you all had a great time! And that this one went much better! :) Where exactly is this camping place? What town is it close to?

Ann-it's McCormicks Creek State Park in Spencer, IN (real close to Bloomington) It takes about an hour (give or take) to get there-it's great-you should check it out!
