Camping with cousins

We went over to the west coast of Florida. We're camping at Oscar Scherer State Park for a night with my cousin and his daughter, and then tomorrow we'll be doing the Penguin Pajama Party. Usually he goes camping with us sans children, but since we are relatively close to his home, he decided to try a first camping trip for his older child. I think the playground was perfectly located, they could play without much monitoring from us. And there were several families with kids there, so Cowgirl made new friends. But that's not as good, since she then proceeded to play with the other kids more just because they're they same age.

He finally is using his big tent!

The park had a fish painting activity

Playground right across from our site.

Geocaching hike with a new friend.

Road trip to Atlanta

We took a road trip to Atlanta for Cuong Nhu Training Camp. Along the way we stopped and camped at Georgia Veterans State Park. The day was over 100 degrees, but temps were comfortable at night. The lake nearby cooled off the area nicely. We also had a chance to find a geocache, and the state of Georgia has a whole series of geocaches in their state parks, with little prizes for collecting so many. It's a cool idea to get people to visit their state parks.

Veterans parks have military stuff!

Monkey Girl

We were out geocaching and she found this palm tree.  What better thing to do than to climb it?

More geocaching and too cold for the iguanas!

We do more goecaching in the winter time, it's just nicer to get out, but it's been unusually cold for a longer period. We found one geocache, and not another but a dead iguana.

Putting the geocoin in another location.

Too cold!

Geocaching at Fern Forest Nature Center

So we visited Fern Forest Nature Center and did some geocaching. We found a nice geocoin and saw birds and a soft shell turtle.

Geocoin!

Such a cute snout!
