Camping In Arkansas




These are some photos of a camping trip back in October. The kids loved it and had a great time. They loved when I would make Daddy's Dirty Eggs and Bacon over the fire for breakfast each morning. We rented a pontoon boat and went out for the day, we tried to fish but didn't catch anything. Although Nathan laid his pole down for a few minutes with his hook in the water and had a bite and the fish yanked his pole into the water. He didn't mind a whole lot as he had already lost interest in fishing with no action.
Mostly the kids just loved hanging around the campsite and campfire. We were right on the edge of the water on a penninsula. Madeline & Nathan spent a great deal of time just throwing rocks into the water. At only $10 a night for the campsite it was a great deal and we had an amazing view. We wished it had been just a little bit cooler, it was in the low 80's and it didn't cool off much at all at night. We slept with a battery operated fan hanging just inches over our heads to create a light breeze during the night.
Next year we're hoping to upgrade from a tent to a popup camper with AC so that we actually camp more often.
