Adventures in Camping

One of the adventures Mr. Incredible is leading us into this year is camping. We bought a used pop-up, some coolers and folding chairs - and hit the road! We've been to a few camp grounds here in southern Indiana, the latest being Spring Mill Park.

I think this was our favorite so far. Of course, I might have said that with every place we have gone. Maybe I do this because each time we go I feel a little more comfortable and am able to relax. Or it might just be that we were with great friends, and this park has a lot to offer.

The playground was really awesome - surrounded by an almost dry creek bed. It made me long for my own childhood when my siblings and I would dig for crawdads and build forts.

We also got to wade in the creek by the mill. Even though it was 90 degrees that weekend - the creek was freezing! Well it does come from the spring

The kids really enjoyed the Gus Grissom Memorial - they have always been interested in Astronomy and Space travel. They were quite excited to learn we had an astronaut from right here in our own "back yard." And Ash made the announcement that he would be attending Purdue University to earn his engineering degree just like Mr Grissom.

How awesome that family vacations can lead to life goals!
