Ross Lake

If there’s something we look forward to every year more then everything else (except Christmas), it would be our annual camping trip to Ross Lake. We pack for a week, camp for 5 days, and unpack for a week. But the work we do to get ready for our trip, is very much made up for during those five days at the lake.

Here’s are some highlights from the trip, in our own words:

Abbey: “My favorite part of the camping trip was picture scavenger hunt. We split up into two teams and Mom gave us a list of things to take pictures of. Some of them were ‘Something tall, something short, and something gross!’”

Emma: My favorite part of the camping trip was swimming. We made a raft out of logs and floated around on it. The water was warmer and clearer then our pool!”

Kate: “One of my favorite parts about the camping trip were the mornings. Because you would wake up and there was another whole day ahead of you. One of the morning Dad and I went fishing, but we didn’t catch anything.”

Rebecca: “I liked the boat rides because our dog went in the boat and was cute. And the waves were fun. And that’s all!” Editor’s note: Becca tented to “lose it” on the boat rides. Some pictures are provided.

I personally like the scenery, boating, and snorkeling. There’s lots of places to explore around the campsite, and so many more places to go in the boat. The food is always great (thanks to Dad), and he makes sure that everyone is safe. This was one of the most fun years I’ve had at Ross Lake. Click “Continue Reading” below to see some pictures.
