Pokagon State Park - Sept 2009

Campground: Site 391
Dates: August 18-20, 2009 total $51 (plus $7 entrance fee)
Weather: Fall weather, highs in the 70's, lows in the 40's

We decided to take another camping trip at Pokagon, even though every time we go something bad seems to happen. This time was different - our spell was broken. We got the campsite on time, didn't have any issues getting there or setting up, and had beautiful weather all weekend!


Note the big rock by the campsite - it was a great hit with the kids. And when they weren't climbing and jumping off of the rock, they were riding bikes around the little cul-de-sac we had were on. Very nice!


It was also nice that the kids are getting big enough to ride around the great trails they have at the park. Zack is getting so big he can make it up hills by standing up on his bike and pumping hard on the pedals.





The leaves haven't started turning colors yet, but the weather was a little chilly and you can tell Fall is right around the corner.


The kids were racing up and down the toboggan run. We made a vow that we will come back this winter and go for a ride.


We took a walk down to the springs and had a drink of the fresh cool water. It really was as good as bottled water!


Sydney only found one caterpillar the whole trip.


On Sunday there was an seaplane "fly-in". The lake behind the Inn was the perfect landing spot for these planes and about 25 of them arrived.


It was pretty cool to see them land in the water, cruise over and then pull onto land.
