Family Camping Trip to Moon Lake

My side of the family went camping to Moon Lake last month.  SM and I aren't campers and have never claimed to be and so we were both a little leery about three days in the "wilderness."  We ended up having a wonderful time and are excited to go camping again in the future.

Camping and lots of food always seem to go together.  SM and I were in charge of breakfast on our first morning there.  We made pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs.  Oh, so yummy and so much food!

SM spent some calories on cutting up wood.  Later that evening we used it to burn for our tin-foil dinners and smores.  I've got a great husband!

My dad brought his canoe camping and we were able to take it out on the lake.  My brother took his two girls and boy out on the lake first and then later SM took me out.




SM paddled me across the lake and back.  I helped out a bit but I got tired often.  The next day my shoulders were very sore and so were SM's.  I did get sunburned out on the lake and really enjoyed the peace out on the lake.


We  went on a hike and I saw a deer.  We hiked up and around the lake.  It was nice to be out and to be with my family.

Here's my cute and silly mom.  I love this lady!


My other brother came with his family a little later than the rest of us.  What a fun guy...his shirt says "It's not Halloween yet...take your mask off!" 

We also played some game where you toss golf balls tied on a rope over some plastic piping.

Here are the kids...eating some melon.  Let's just say that the cousins were very excited and happy when together.  I love that they are becoming such good friends.


Camping with the family was a success!  Hope we can do it again sometime!
