Roman Nose Trip Comments

Well we went and camped and conquored. The inaugural run in the camper was a success. We had a few delays Friday afternoon that put us off to a later than we hoped for start but it all worked out. We arrived at Roman Nose State Park well after dark Friday night but found a suitable camping site without difficulty. It was actually a pull-through spot (for those with camping experience to appreciate) which meant we didn't even have to back the thing in. The truck pulled the camper like a champ and the hookup went smooth except for a small hitch with the water heater which was shortly resolved. The air conditioner quickly made our little home an igloo and we slept like babies. Saturday was overcast which was great weather for August as it kept the temp down to a manageable level. The boys rode bikes, played mini golf, canoed, hiked, played in the water, etc. Addi tried to participate in all the above around her dr. pepper and napping schedules. We made a quick trip into Watonga Sat am for the few things we forgot, mainly trash bags. The morning had been a little tainted with Garrett stepping on a bee and getting stung. He needed a break and was content to go shopping with the girls while Mark and Logan hiked to the overlook. The lake there is only for fishing and there is an amazing pool which looked so delightful but was closed, we're not sure why. We had a blast playing in the natural springs in the late afternoon heat and had a yummy hobo dinner after that. Saturday was a family movie and game night. Sunday morning donned bright and sunny and HOT, HOT, HOT!! We decided shortly to pack up and come home. Packing went smoothly other than the heat but we were soon on our way home where the rest of the work begins. I have already got the washing machine going. We are gearing up for our next trip which is next weekend for a long weekend over labor day. Check in on our upcoming advertures....
