indiana dunes national lakeshore

 This past weekend we headed back to another of our favorite campgrounds, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.  It rained a bit on our way there so we were a bit worried, but kept on going.  Thankfully the rain had ended just as we pulled in to the campground and we were able to get set up without getting soaked.  As soon as we were set up we were off on our first (of many) bike rides. 
 This time we headed to the Nature Center.
 My little scientists (especially Presley) LOVED this.
 Then back to our site.  We had a playground right at the back of our camper which made it nice for us.  We could sit out and see the girls from our lot.

 A.Hildy joined us after work and we headed to Bass Pro Shop for dinner and shopping.


 And a little game time too.





 The next morning we took another bike ride...this time to the beach.  We noticed how quickly the beach was filling up and decided to head back to get our stuff.  We decided since we were so close we would just walk back to the beach...thinking it would be a piece of cake.  Hmm...that sand dune didn't look as big as it felt climbing up it.  It sure made me notice how out of shape I am.  : )  But thankfully we all made it.
 We were lucky that the overcast skies burned away to reveal the beautiful sunshine just as we set up our chairs.


 The 2 older girls decided they wanted to give the dunes a few more shots.  Crazy!

 Another great camping weekend in the books...
