4th of July camping at Ouabache State Park!! 7/04-08/2012

 We spent 4 wonderfully HOT days at Ouabache State Park (pronounced Wabash), located just east of Bluffton, IN!  It was only our second trip with our new camper, and our first time at this really nice state park!  We had lots of visitors on this trip too, which was so much fun!!
 Luc and Katie were our first vistors.  They came and stayed with us Wednesday night, and hung out most of the day on Thursday! Dee helped Luc get a fire going!
 Getting ready to cook some bacon on the fire!





 Breakfast!  And we were already sweating!
 Especially me!  If I wouldn't have eaten so much, I probably would have lost a lot of weight from constantly sweating!
 Taking a little hike!

 Heading off to the woods!!
 Darian thought he was such a big boy since we let him ride his trike by himself!
 We were at the very back of the campground, so the road wasn't busy!

 Dee sweats like his daddy!  Not quite as bad though...
 There was a really nice paved bike trail that we rode several times!



 Then we climbed the 10-story Fire Tower!  Katie stayed below.
 Really nice views.  We could see the Bison ranch in the distance!
 My HOT sweaty family!
 Heading back down!

 Dee played in the water a bit to cool off!

 Fun times with good friends.
 Looking a tad bit tired.
 Heading to the pool!
 Awww...sweet relief! 
 Luc and Katie relaxing by the pool!
Gearing up for a big splash!
 Nice air!
 The water slide was so much fun!





 Dee and mommy getting ready to ride the slide!
 WHEEE!!!!


 Sweet corn! YUM!
 Exhausted!

 :)
 Good morning Josh and Emma!
 Looks like we just woke up!
 Carrie and Darian
 Dee playing games on his tablet while Josh does Em's hair!


 Cereal bars!
 The ladies cooking us some breakfast!
 Tire swing!


 Emma was pouting!




 "Did I get all my sunscreen rubbed in?"  "Yes Josh...you did!"
 Pool time again!!  We spent as much time at the pool as we could!  It was FUN!
 But made us TIRED!
 Saturday evening there was a bike parade, led by Smokey the Bear!
 Dee and I went to get some ballons for his bike trailer!
 Ready to roll!
 Smokey was in the air conditioned fire truck.  He didn't get out.  I didn't blame him.



 Here we come!

 There we go!
 SMOKEY!

 Late evening hike with the pups!
 We let Darian walk Hubble most of the time!  He loved it!
 The whole family!


 Getting packed up to head home!
 Looking tired, but ready for one final bike ride before we left the park!
What a great mini-vacation in our new camper!
