Camping day 4- Fun at Knoebels

Wednesday morning we headed back to Knoebels for some fun.

The park is really neat- no admission fee, you get tickets and pay as you ride or you can get a ride all day bracelet.

The park has a nostalgic feel, but it should as it's been around in various forms since the 1920's. Not to say it hasn't been updated, it has some new rides along with the classics. We saw a juggling/ hula hoop show, rode some rides. The food was good and reasonably priced, they had a big selection of items. And I must say the fries were so YUMMY yummy.

We all had a great time. The girls really enjoyed the rides and we did too (my favorites were the trains- quiet and peaceful and shady). It was so fun to watch them have a good time and listen to them laugh.

Below are a few pictures of our day, I'll post more on our photo sharing site (http://kevginmegkel.shutterfly.com/) once I get them all edited.

Camping day 3- around town and late night at park

We decided that Tuesday was going to be a sort of laid back day, we were tired!
Kevin made pancakes (plain for us, M&M for the girls) on the griddle outside and we had breakfast on the picnic table in the great outdoors. I also got to watch how some other folks were doing breakfast over campfires, interesting.

Then we got reliable directions to WalMart (from the campground office), made a stop at a Country Store that had some great things, and made it to WalMart where we purchased a water purifier for the sink and a blanket for Kellie.
Back at the camper we did lunch, Kellie took a nap (and so did mommy) while Kevin and Megan toured the campground. There are some beautiful swans there.
While out walking Kevin and Megan ran into people we used to go to church with (what a small world, they were camping there too).

Then we headed to Knoebels for some rides. The girls had a ball!


Back at the camper Kevin made a campfire, Megan was scared of the fire, so we put the girls to bed and enjoyed a late night by the campfire and some s'mores just the 2 of us!

Camping day 2- the pool

We got up on Monday and it was HOT, so we decided today would be the day we spent at Knoebels's Crystal Pool.
We had a donut breakfast
and headed to the park.

The pool was great. They had life jackets for the kids (which safety minded mommy loved), slides in the big pool, diving boards, a water fall, locker rooms to change in, space to lay out in. And it felt great on the hot day!

Megan loved the water tube slides that you go down on a tube, they had double tubes so Kev & I each got to go with her a few times.

They had a kids pool with all kinds of cool stuff that dumped water, shot water, squirted water. Kellie enjoyed sitting the johnny jump up seats, both girls liked the slide and the area where water randomly shot out of the ground.

We didn't take the camera that day so we don't have any pictures. But it was great!

We took a ride on one of the park trains before heading home after the pool and Kellie fell asleep.

We went back to the camper where Kevin made a yummy dinner of burgers and hot dogs.
