We spent Father’s Day weekend camping, boating and hiking near and around Devil’s Lake. What a beautiful view.

Camp is set up it’s almost time for bed! Mama picked up a really cool (and free!) “adventure guide” at REI for me to journal about the camping weekend. I can’t wait to fill it out and use the stickers!

On Saturday we spent most of the day at Devil’s Lake either eating lunch in the boat…

watching some jumpers for entertainment and…

climbing the steep and rocky steps of the lake’s west bluff!

Are we there yet?

Ahhh…water!

Check out this crazy tree we saw!

Thank you Auntie Robyn for a great family photo-op!

Once we were back at the campsite…we spent some time getting reacquainted with simple outdoorsy kinds of things…like bubbles…

frisbee…

Watch-out, Mama!

campsite posts…(I totally thought I was going to be taller than this post!!)…

upside down chairs???

and Uno of course!

Papa even relearned how to make food over an open fire…

and for dessert we made mouth watering s’mores—-Uncle Pete…you have to get your own chocolate!!

Sunday morning was Father’s day and the morning started out great! Uncle Pete made me chocolate pancakes and Auntie Robyn made Papa his favorite breakfast…

CORNED BEEF HASH!!!!! Take your time, Papa!!

Then we gave Uncle Pete and Papa their Father’s Day cards…I thought they were awesome.

Then Mama had a few surprises up her sleeve for Papa that I didn’t even know about—like this awesome new t-shirt…

and what?…who is that a picture of?

Papa’s favorite celebrity (“He’s been through so much…”), Bret Michels. (I know him from the 80s hair band, Poison.) Wow! What a great weekend! I think I even came home with less than 5 mosquito bites! I hope everyone had a great weekend…we’ll see you again soon! (P.S. If you find yourself in WI on Wed., July 28th then come by the Middleton High School and see me in a play! My part is small, but I have the play’s punch line! It’s going to be a blast!!!)
