Although my wife and I have bike-camped there before, this time we drove by car because we were camping with family. It's difficult to bring toys and snacks for kids when you're biking. It's just 25 miles to the park.

The weekend promised to be hot, but the first day we set up camp and then spent the day at the lake. I managed to stay pretty cool in the water and not get sunburned. I love it when a plan turns out well!
Sunday morning dawned with temperatures near eighty degrees, so we packed up early and came home. There was supposed to be record-breaking heat, and we decided to end our camp trip on the upside.
We found our neighbor girls looking for excitement when we arrived home, so we recruited them for pea picking and shelling. They enjoyed themselves immensely--and also found time for trips to the strawberry and raspberry beds.
