Camping season is here and we're officially in business. We usually kick off camping season on the July long weekend. This year we're a bit early. Although with all the awesome weather we've had this spring, it does feel like we're a bit late getting out.
We did something a bit different and a little bit extra-special for Father's Day this year. We tied in a camping weekend with a Nascar race in Michigan.
We stayed at Hayes State Park. It was absolutely lovely. (We're big fans of State Parks (USA) and Provincial Parks (Canada) because you are pretty safe in knowing what you're getting. We've found that private campgrounds can be more of a hit or miss type of thing...when you hit it, they're really good. When you don't...well....it's not that pleasant of a stay. ;)
Our campsite had the perfect playground equipment for the Maxter....TREES. BIG TREES! He loves climbing trees...
It was the three of us, along with a good friend of ours Gerry, who we don't get to see too often. He would also be the one who originally introduced Keith to the (wonderful?) world of Nascar.
Mmmmmm! Roasted marshmallows...(The tutti frutti variety discovered at Canadian Tire of all places.)
Max was all boy this weekend....from wanting to play with fire around the campsite, to climbing trees to rolling around in the dirt to being obsessed with playing with the hatchet....it was unending. And that was just at the campground!
It was a wonderful weekend to kick off camping. The weather was hot hot hot and no rain (during the camping part). Bugs were minimal. Showers were hot, bathrooms were clean. Food was sooooo good - grilled steaks (for the boys) and yummy salads (me). We'd like to go back again..there was lots of good fishing, but we just didn't have time. Nascar photos will be coming shortly, they probably deserve a post all of their own. ;)
