And when I say family, I mean family, like the whole clan. I think at one point we had 32 people. One family left in the middle of the night because of a sick kid, but on Saturday night, we were maxing out the three spots.
These 3 spots are in the area where M and I have camped before. Just down the row from 73. We had hoped to have 64, 66, 68, but 64 was taken. Then we hoped for 19, 17, 15, but 19 was taken. Somehow we ended up with 15, 66, 68. They were perfect. 15 is close to the restrooms and we cut through the "woods" to get from our spots to 15 and then walked down the road to the restrooms. Super easy.
We were also close to the overflow parking and we used it.
The other great thing about the location were the trails in the woods.The kids ran those trails playing games all day Saturday and Sunday. They made weapons out of sticks and ran and ran and ran. It reminded me so much of when we were kids.
M went out on Thursday and got things set up. M strung colored Christmas lights around site 68. Belinda decorated 66. You could spot our fairy tale camp from the road. It was amazing.
Feeding 32 people was a challenge on a grill. By Sunday morning they figured it out. At one point they had the grill going, one propane burner, one electric skillet and an electric burner. We ate like kings.
The weather was amazing. Cool at night and in the morning for coffee, warm in the afternoon and cool for the campfire when the sun went down. We could not have picked a better weekend.
When we packed and said good-bye, everyone was already talking about next year's campout. I truly hope we make this a family tradition.
