1st camping trip a success!

We had our first camping experience over the weekend. We decided to head to Okoboji (not too far from home!) and went to Gull Point State Park. We ended up having a great time! Here are some of the details...

Friday night we loaded everything up. As organized as I thought I was with my "camping list," it all went to heck when we were loading the camper. I had been putting stuff in totes for a few weeks...but hadn't put much actually in the camper. So, we just put the totes in the camper and decided we would organize when we got there. We had yet to pack clothes or cold foods...so did all that too Friday after work. We managed to leave our house by 6:30 and got to the campground just after 7. Our spot turned out to be very nice!

We unhooked and then went to Milford for supper. We decided it would be easier to just eat out since it was already after 7. By the time we got back and started to put things away, it was time for bed! We did get a campfire going and sat around the fire...but not for too long as we were shot!

Saturday we had a great time! We spent the day at the park, at the beach, and just lounging!

We cooked pizza pies over the campfire for lunch and brats and hot dogs over the fire for supper.

It was a very warm day out. I'm sure glad our air works so well in our camper...because of how much I like a/c! The beach was so nice! Presley enjoyed riding her bike around too! We managed to only have to make 1 trip to Walmart to get a few missing supplies on Sat. night.

Sunday a.m. we had breakfast and started to pack up to head home. We left around noon!

All in all, it was a success! Definitely something we can't wait to do again. We hope to get out a few times before the end of the season! We will call you if we are in your neighborhood! We can't wait to "sight-see" all the campgrounds around us!
