There won't be much to post the next couple days because this is all we will be doing. Plus some time at the petting zoo, ice cream, arcade, candy bar bingo and maybe even a little paddle boarding.

waterpark camping
Our last camping trip of the summer is at one of the girls favorite campgrounds. I'm pretty sure it is Braden's least favorite of all time, but I agree with the girls... I love it here. The donkeys next to the goats started making a ton
