Camping at Devil's Lake June 2016

This week, June 13-17, 2016 the boys and I went camping at Devil's Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  Here's the photos.  Enjoy!

Our pop up canopy used to provide some shade.  We didn't have any trees on our site.

Our tent

Joel came and met us for dinner.

Tuesday mom and dad came to visit with us for the day.  Here we are hiking the West Bluff Trail.

Grandpa!

A much needed break on this very steep climb.

Aunt Teri called while we were on the trail and asked if she and Becky, her daughter, could come spend the day!  Here everyone is playing bocce ball.

Wednesday we went to the beach.

We met a delightful family.  Anne, the mom, and I have so much in common!  It was a fun trip!
We briefly discussed trying to camp at the same time next year.  Wouldn't that be fun?

Playing the game, Pit.

Fun with glow sticks!

Thursday we hiked the East Bluff Trail and the East Woods Trail.

#2 (and #3) bought their own hiking sticks!

We met a wonderful family and shared a fire, snacks and fun!  When we left for  a hike, they left this behind for us!

Sophie came to visit us!
