Yellow Stone State Park Camping Trip

This past weekend we took a camping trip to Yellow Stone Sate park (the smaller version located in Wisconsin!!)  The park was only an hour from our house full of lush greens, a huge lake, and wonderful trails.

 

We did a lot of camping while in Spain, however there you couldn't have a fire!!  So we were really excited to show the kiddos what it was like to camp with a fire!

Claire was a huge helper and unraveled 100ft of rope while we sat up camp.  She told us she was trying to catch a bunny, so how could we be mad at that!

After setting up camp we took a four mike hike around the park and lake.  The hike was really nice as it had really clear paths and beautiful views. 

We were extra proud of the kiddos as Drew did all of the walking and Claire did 3/4 of the walking. 

Their favorite part is trying to find the perfect hiking stick during all of the hike:)

The hike was really gorgeous and it really felt like fall with leaves falling off the trees.  Being away from fall for three years really makes you appreciate it after not seeing it for so long.

Claire also became warm and took her shirt off!

After our hike we went fishing.  Since being back in the states Drew and Claire are obsessed with fishing!  I told Andy he couldn't have asked for better fishing buddies as they would do it all day!

Claire for a three year old does really well waiting.. and waiting... for a bite!

The kiddos loved wearing their head lamps once it got dark out and would find all sorts of fun bugs with them!  Of course we had to roast some marshmallows!

We had a great camping trip and look forward to our next one
