Fall Campin' at the Lake

Well, I thought I was gonna get to post a few more times before now but even while we were at the lake, there was a lot goin on......well, actually the kids were here and there and everywhere! Even at the lake I'm that "paranoid freak of a mom". Unless they were on their bikes all three together ridin' the loop, either Michael or I were right on their trails   :)  and let me tell you, they didn't slow down!!!

Of all the campgrounds I've been to, this is the prettiest to me....the others we go to are at the beach and they don't have to be pretty cause you don't stay at the campground whilst you are at the beach!!! Anywho, all you want to do at this one is just sit around the campfire...unless of course if you are a kid and then all you wanna do is run around everywhere and make your mama crazy wonderin where you are!

but of course ridin bikes really fast around the curve we stayed on is really fun too!!!

even the little miss got in on the fast action!

and the fact that they make them wear helmets makes me feel a little better...especially when they are racin around with all the other 100's of kids that are there.....and especially since we had just taken a trip tp the e.r. the nite before because one of the seats in my car locked down on Ben's fingers and almost chopped them off!!! The only thing he was worried about while we were tryin to free his fingers was that he may not get to go camping and fishing at the lake!!! I promised him right then that even if they were broken we would still go!!! Luckily and by the grace of God they were fine and we ended up leaving the hospital before we were even seen!!!

This was our lunch after MAP got there on Friday. The kids were excited b/c he took off 1/2 a day from work. So we picnicked even though it said DON'T.....cause that's how we roll   :)

As you can easily see, Ben's fingers were fine! And it happened to be his right "reeling in" hand/fingers that got smashed.  

and just FYI, this is the BEST SALSA I HAVE AND WILL EVER HAVE EATEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE (yeah, it is worth alllll caps!!!) so go get you some!!! look for it on the mexican food isle. SO GOOD!!!

little miss "camera hog"

and just so you all don't think I really just overlook all the rules (like picnicking where it says DON'T), this is what the other side of that sign read   :)  that picnicking spot was just for us campers   :)

They even moved the playground at the campground, and added a few new things like this twirly bird of a thingamajig? You could make it spin all by yourself but after Rivs got off, MAP and I gave Jake a little spin   :) he was beggin for mercy!!! hahaha!
