A Night by Lake Erie

We leave our nice campground after a good breakfast of french toast & sausage cooked by Dad.  Then head for PA.  Our lunch stop turns out to be very cool, we stop at Cuyahoga National Park and the girls earn one more Junior Ranger badge.  Here is their total Junior Ranger tally:

1. Badlands National Park (still have to mail in book we completed after center closed for the day)
2. Little Big Horn
3. Yellowstone
4. Grand Tetons
5. Museum of Western Expansion/St. Louis Arch
6. Cuyahoga National Park

They are very proud of their badges and they really did learn alot too, they were always pointing out things to us!

We had a fabulous picnic at this cool lodge in Cuyahoga Valley Park.  Their was a huge field next to it and the kids were running around afterward swinging Charlie around, they all loved it!

We get to our campground called Camp Eriez, we get a huge, shaded pull through site.  Dad makes our store run and Mom and the kids go to the Lake.  The campground is huge and we hike down to the water and have fun seeing the little waterfall and skipping rocks in the lake.  Katie is very excited to skip some.  Kelly finds wild raspberries on the trail and Charlie and Katie eat all that Mom picks and still want more!  We head up for a nice dinner, Dad is inspired and even attempts dessert- black forest cake in the dutch overn.  It is incredible and we share some with a  very nice couple that invited us to join them at their fire.  We have a great night trading Yellowstone storied and have fun making new friends.  The girls decide that people at this campground are the friendliest ever!
