After two nights in ho-hum chain hotels, we were eager to go camping. Although we wanted a state park, we could only get a reservation at a KOA. It is beautiful! Great site, lots of trees, including some that are suitable for a hammock, a creek in the back, a cliff overlooking the site, a bunny hopping around. As we took it all in, Alex and I both shouted out in awe. Then we got out and the kids were just running around out of joy. I don't think I have ever seen everyone simultaneously happy like that. We put up the tents; Ellie caught a frog. We heated up the beef stew Phil made and froze before we left and now two are catching fireflies, which we don't have in Florida, and we at waiting for 8:55 when there is a flashlight lollipop hunt.
