Camping at Scofield Reservoir

As most of you know, we are looking into getting a trailer...Momma just can't sleep on the ground and enjoy the ride anymore...(or I think it was ever, but I suffered).  We have found a few great options, but got to thinking, what if we buy one and we hate it!  Kind of silly to buy something you've never tried out, right?  So Brett found a place about 2 hours from home that had a trailer all hooked up and all you had to do was come and stay (kind of like a rustic hotel).  We tried it out and loved it!

This is a picture of the trailer...it was really deluxe inside - and we're glad we did it!

The first day we were up there... it was VERY windy and a little rainy/chilly.  So we stayed inside for a chunk of the day and watch movies and read books.  It was great to be warm and comfy inside!  We all kept saying how miserable we'd have been inside a tent....Spoiled, I know!

 The next days were just barely better.  McKaleigh and I tried kayaking and fishing which was a bust, because the wind blew us all over and the waves were huge.  Alex and dad went mining (i'll explain about that).  The general consensus was that fishing was the best activity.

 A few weeks ago, Alex bought this pick ax at Home Depot, with his own money.  He thought he'd try his hand at mining during our camping trips.  He little mind had planned that he was going to dig up all kinds of treasure.  Here's an accounting of what he found this trip...a few cool rocks, a few old lures, some bones and crap claws.  No gems, but better luck next time?!

 On day two the weather allowed us to kayak around a bit and for Mckaleigh to paddle board (she loves that)

 We did some more fishing...but didn't catch anything...we've got to figure this fishing pole thing out~

 So, over all it was a great experience!  We'd love to go with family and cousins when we get our trailer...and with the onsite rental, there'd be room for all!
