Our Hidden Gem

We've found a hidden gem. Okay I know that's a little misleading because it's just a campground, but to a three year old and 19 month old it might as well be Dollywood. I start off telling the kids we're going on an adventure. I pack sunscreen, lunches, and extra diapers and underwear and I put the kids in the jogging stroller. On the 3 mile trek there, Laura tells me that it's taking forever. As I huff and puff up the steep winding hills, I tell her that it's all going to be worth it once we get there. She believes me. We arrive at the Saylorville Lake Campground and I have convinced the kids it's the best place on earth.
Here is my supporting evidence:
1. During the week, there aren't many campers so the playground equipment is all ours.
2. There are flushable toliets and even showers if we need them.
3. There are plenty of empty tables to have our picnic at.
4. There's a lake to throw rocks into.
5. There's gooshey sand to play with.
6. The campers that are there are all old and have dogs to admire.
7. Mom gets a work-out in and the kids get nice and wore out for their naps once we get home.

Everyone wins.


Cheddar Sun Chips wins everytime.

Sam was just standing with his hands beind his back watching the water like an old man.



I should have gone into sales...
