Warm Lake Camping

Finally! We have officially been on a full-fledged camping trip as a family of five. (The little stint at Brownlee a few weeks ago was just a practice run.) This time we spent four glorious nights at Warm Lake. We couldn't have done it without Chuck and Missy. Our car was packed to the gills with foam mats, sleeping bags, camp chairs, food, a cooler, clothes and our tent. They brought the cook stove, pots and pans, chainsaw, water containers, etc. We shared a beautiful camp spot just above the North Shore Lodge. The weather was perfect - minus the insane windstorm the first night that we were there. In my ignorance I had packed watercolor paints, kids chapter books, and several games for the kids to play when they got bored. HA! They were entertained from dawn 'til dusk with water, dirt, rocks and sticks.

Here's a look at our awesome camping scrapbook:

The scenery was spectacular.

Camping activities: throwing rocks, minnow catching, hiking, lots of swimming!, house building, playing hide and seek, star gazing, eating ice-cream on the dock, hot-dog roasting, napping, reading, and playing games.
