Labor Day @ Iron Mikes (govt. Mineral Springs)

Mom and I got to the campground late in the afternoon on Thursday, to save place for everyone. Dyers and the rest of our clan showed up around 2 pm on Friday.  Dad brought the bow and arrows from the Stake.   I thought it was not a good idea (being so dangerous)2012-08-30 camping 2012 004Well, They were a HIT.   The kids all had a ball and they learned about safety.2012-08-30 camping 2012 0052012-08-31 camping 2012 0032012-08-31 camping 2012 0042012-08-31 camping 2012 0052012-08-31 camping 2012 0082012-08-31 camping 2012 0102012-08-31 camping 2012 011Here is Casey and the kids at old “IRON MIKE” getting a drink of the the “health” mineral water.  Even the frogs love the water.2012-08-31 camping 2012 015 - Copy
