Camping Day 2 - Land Between the Lakes National Recreational Area

Balance beam around the camp site!

Goofing around with Daddy! :)

Our little friend still around in the morning! :)

Talking with workers of the living history farm - a real working farm model of the 1850's. 

Margo loves seeing all the animals!

Farmers planting corn.

Coming up to the main house!

Inside the house!

The kitchen - with ladies really preparing a meal for the workers on the farm - pork loin, sweet potatoes, beans, corn bread, and blackberry pie is what they were working on!  It was Margo's favorite part of the farm! :)


Upstairs bedrooms!

The baby bird by our campsite that was still needing some coaxing to fly!

Ducks at dusk

Foil wrapped dinner - a fail this time! :(  I kept them in a little too long and they were more like charcoal than the chicken, red bell peppers, potatoes, and onions that they were suppose to be.  Good thing we had extra sandwich meat! :)

Sunset!

Night time walk!

S'mores!

A fire and solar lights to relax near at the end of day one!

Daddy joins us for swim lessons!




Drive thru

One of Margo's favorite games, putting Casey in the back of the coupe and taking a ride around the back patio to the drive thru to ask what she can have to eat.  I love that the days are mild enough still to keep the back door open and play between the house and the backyard!


Squadron Picnic!

Margo is called the "little Chaplain" and I think that's pretty fitting! ;)

Jim giving the blessing over the meal!
