Father's Day Camping Trip

Usually Tyler & I camp at a state park.  They need funding and are usually monitored by Forest Rangers which offers my mind a little bit of security & safety.  However this year we are feeling adventurous; for Father’s Day we planned a trip to the Grandy Creek KOA with our good friends the Wagester Family.  Our kids just enjoy playing with each other and care for one another as if they’re family. 

 I will be honest about two things; first off weather was not the best and this location is designed for RV camping & Yurt Renting and we were in tents.  That being said the weather Friday night & Saturday was decent, not warm but jeans & tee-shirt weather. However, Saturday night it pounded rain all night & continued to rain Sunday morning as we packed up.  The Tent camping sites are few and far in-between and offer little privacy. You could hear the conversations of the people next to you loud & clear.  Also, at State Parks you can usually fit two or three tents comfortably at one site & at the KOA you have to pay for a site for each tent!!!

 Being in a tent site had one big perk and that was that we were next to the playground, human sized chess board and bouncing pillow.  Our kids being age’s 3-7 meant that they spent the majority of their time jumping up & down on that big yellow pillow.  We also spent some time go on walks and bike rides.  The kids also enjoyed playing in a gathering of large trees.  I will also say that the organized activities at the KOA are very nice.  They held a movie on the lawn, a glow stick hunt, hay rides, ice cream social and pancake breakfast.   

 All in all we had good company and made some more great memories.  Is that not what Summer time is about? Enjoying life & creating memories. We think so!  Thank you to the Wagester Family for such an amazing time!
