Taidnapam

Our second camping trip of the season was a quick weekend trip to Taidnapam.  We went with a couple of the families from Carson's soccer team last fall.  We had a great time! There were so many kids, we were right next to the park and the kids were all old enough to explore the campground on their own.  It made for a really relaxing trip.  The adults spent most of our time just hanging out and chatting.

Left to right: Dillon, Zach, Joey, Maddy, Carson, Kayda and Jordan.  Kayda was probably the only kid that got bored.  She'd just go sit in the trailer and read, which she doesn't mind in the slightest.

They had the lake drained way down while they worked on the dam.  We obviously couldn't swim since this was the swimming area!  Normally the red buoys are in a pretty deep section.

The dad's took the kids and played extreme bocce ball.  The ground was too compacted to play the traditional way.  So they played in the play area.  The dad's would throw the ball/target while the kids were turned away and then each kid would turn around, one at a time, and throw their ball after only being able to look for the little white ball for a second or two.

It was a really good weekend.  Unfortunately, Crystal and Justin (with Joey and Jordan) are moving to Ohio next summer so there won't be a repeat.  Kelly, Scott, Maddy and Zach will still be here so maybe we can work that out.  None of the kids ended up on the same soccer team this year, which is a bummer since they get along so well.
