We had decided that we wanted to camp one last time for the season. I had called Platte River to see if they had any camping spots and they were less than helpful. They told me that I wasn't able to reserve a spot online or over the phone and the only way to get a spot was to come set up a tent and pay. I wanted to just chance it but I knew everyone would be disappointed if we packed everything, drove up there after work and then there wasn't any spots. So Lucy and I took the tent and picked out a spot. We managed to set up our giant tent by ourselves. Ok, Lucy was only moral support and I don't really know how I did it but I got our tent set up! We headed home to pack for everyone else and have a fun night.
We had a relaxing night around the campfire. We had hotdogs and smores.
It was a chilly night but it was a good tent sleeping night. We heard lots of wildlife and birds overnight.
Caleb went fishing and the rest of us spent the morning hiking.
There was a little fishing clinic going on while we were there so everyone borrowed a pole and some bait at one point and we all tried fishing. Caleb was the only one that caught anything though.
We climbed the tower. I always forget how afraid of heights I am until I try to do something like this. Emmy told me to stop holding onto her so tight, I told her that it was so that she didn't fall but if I'm being really honest it was because I was terrified!
We had a great family weekend.
