Return to Eisenhower State Park
April 1 - Learning from our last visit to Eisenhower State Park, this time the kids were in bathing suits and shirts plus we brought towels. There was a another family on the beach with 7 kids. X and A played great with thim (like they usually do with new "friends") and we shared our beach toys with them while they shared their dump trucks and toys they brought. We also got some advise from their mother on camping at State Parks (which will never happen if Melinda has anything to say about it) as well as other nice State Parks in the area.
Today was the first day everyone had their own CamelBak hydrating backpack. That means A has 1 liter of ice water on his back (that is drank from a long tube with a "bite valve"), X has 2 liters of ice water and Melinda and Jack can hold up to 3 liters each in theirs. We also pack in and carry out lunch and plenty of snacks for energy.
We tried a new trail (that has now become our favorite) that winded up and down the hills and had lots of interesting terrain. We were so exhausted from this hike and our beach visit and we decided to skip the geocache this time. We had a blast from all this and will definitely be back soon!
