Camping at Brookville

Last Friday, with two sick kids in the backseat and rain beating the windshield, we headed out 74 for our fall family camping trip.

By the time we found our campsite the rain had stopped and having two lethargic girls, who somehow found their way into Mar-mar and Bebobs arms, made getting set up pretty easy. We mostly hung around the campsite for the weekend. We did get in a nice hike Saturday afternoon and stopped to see the Brookville Lake dam on our way out on Sunday. Camping with two kids keep you pretty busy, so we only got a few pictures.

Exploring the woods on our hike

Will accidentally stumbled upon an underground hornet's nest. A few of these little suckers got him in the hand and calf. My brother in law, Alex, also got a sting or two.

The mornings were chilly. On Sunday, Elsie helped my mom keep an eye on the breakfast meat.

Hiking at Hamilton County Parks

I am going to start posting more. Stay tuned!

For starters, we took two hikes last weekend: the first at Miami Whitewater on Saturday and the second at Shawnee Lookout on Sunday. After each hike, we enjoyed the weather and blue skies with a little picnic :) We are looking forward to some more hiking on our upcoming camping trip!

Elsie climbed DOWN a tree where the dirt had washed out from around the roots underground.
