Poor reception made it nigh unto impossible to blog again while camping last weekend so here's the rest of the report.
The good news: The weatherman was wrong. The rain and storms predicted for Saturday and Sunday did not materialize. We did not have to take our awning down or mop up the chairs once. The gnats tried to make up for it, however.
The s'mores cones were a hit. The instructions suggested mini-chocolate chips but they're a lot like beebees--they go everywhere. I would suggest the regular size. Son Andy took the kids fishing. They caught three small ones which they took home to the aquarium. Two of them were named Carl and Luther; not sure what they settled on for the third.

One of the plusses of Johnson Sauk Trail Recreation Area is a lovely lake with a bait shop and boat rental AND a restaurant! We enjoy the cooking part of camping but it's a nice change to eat out, especially for a Father's Day brunch. I don't think they made much money off of us.
We also checked out a couple junk and antique shops in Kewanee and got some good naps in. (Not in the junk shops.) Besides fishing, the kids made good use of their bikes and the playground. I couldn't resist posing them for this photo, though. All in all, a great weekend.
