A camping we will go...

We decided to take a week off to go camping this summer in Mid-August. We went to Wallashuck Campground at Lake Red Rock near Pella, and we couldn't have picked a better week. We went down a day early to attend the Iowa State Fair (there's nothing like it!) and then we took the camper out on Monday and stayed through Sunday. It was a nice relaxing week, with lots of family around to visit and to have come out and visit us.

Here are some pics from our week.

The State Fair - Little Hands on the Farm experience, the kids did everything from planting "seeds" to getting their veggies out of the "garden" to milking cows, gathering eggs, getting wool from sheet, turning their soybeans into Ethanol to run the tractors, then "selling" it all at the farmers market and spending their money at the "store". Neat experience!
And Here is a photo from the times we spent on BIL and SIL (Gene and Elaine's) boat. We got some tubing in before we started having mechanical problems. Erica and Emily went, then Lizzie went with Tyler.
