MUELLER STATE PARK (August 25, 2007) |
|
|
We visited our all-time fourth favorite campground in
late August and as usual, Mueller State Park is a guaranteed great trip. We
decided to grab site 4 in the secluded Peak View loop. We like Peak
View because there are only 5 sites in the loop and no sites across to block
your view.
|
|
|
The other great thing about site 4 is the private
cul-de-sac that allows the kids to ride their bikes without needing to watch
for traffic.
|
|
|
Cameron chose the entire menu for this trip. Lea and
Kendal enjoy brownies for dessert on Friday night.
|
|
|
Hanging out by the fire until it gets dark. Then
star-gazing and ghost stories.
|
|
|
We hiked the 3-mile Homestead Trail on Saturday morning.
|
|
|
Courtney and Cameron get ready for a bike ride.
|
|
|
We found a new climbing gym at the Camper Services
Center.
|
|
|
Let's hope Courtney eventually loses her love for pole
dancing.
|
|
|
Kendal has always been a monkey on the bars.
|
|
|
Beer always tastes better at 9,700 feet.

Hanging out under the awning on Saturday afternoon. The
kids all chose Powerball numbers for the $315,000,000 jackpot drawing. We
purchased 20 lines but only won $3 (one of Melea's lines hit the Powerball).
Someone in Indiana holds the winning ticket. Can you imagine? $315 million! |

Lea is seen roughing it while camping...as she reads
Sierra Magazine, sips a glass of wine, and lounges on the queen bed.

|
|
Kendal and Carly rest in the shade together. Zero bugs at
Mueller. |

Courtney located a BIG dandelion while hiking around the campground. Mueller
State Park never disappoints us. We'll be back year after year. |
