Camping at High Falls State Park

We went camping with the Ray Family. Clara enjoyed having "Jorie" around to play with. We left on Friday night to go camping the weather looked really good. As soon as we got to our campsite and had the tent laid out the rain started to pour down. So I was hammering on the stakes and the Host shows up and wanted us to pay them so Brian was trying to do that and I a hammering into rocks. By the time we got the tent up there were puddles everywhere. We made dinner and set up the mattresses and went to bed.

Saturday Julie and I ran 4 miles with the girls. We made Omelets. We took The Ray's canoe out to the lake and took turns paddling around the lake. Clara seemed to have enjoyed it. she just stood or sat between Brian's legs. When we went to the playgroup at the lake Jasmine went crazy in the sand playing in it. It was really cute. Clara told us all about it when she was done watching doggie play. We took the girls on a car ride. Then we went on a hike and came back and made dinner.

Sunday we got up and went to a trail. It was one that no one should ever bring a stroller through. It was "Technical" as Brian put it. Clara didn't want in the stroller since Brian was pushing her through tree branches and lifting the stroller on rocks. So I carried her through the longest 2 miles ever. It sure wasn't what I was excepted. Later that day we went to Dauset Nature Center. www.dausttrails.com It was all free. which was really cool. They had a mini- zoo, reptile center, and barn animals plus hiking trails and a Children's Garden. It was a lot of fun. We saw turtles and carp and catfish in the lake. It was quite the place.

We woke up at 6 to down pours and it continued until 8 when we got up to pack up. So endless to say Clara loves rain and puddles and all of our camping stuff is soaked and laying out in the garage.

We had a great time. I wish I had pictures but our camera broke.
