Camping

We took our first camping trip of 2010 this weekend in our new camper. We went to a place in Derby, IN. It is actually a place that rents out cabins on the Ohio River, but they had some campsites too. We were on top of a cliff with an amazing view of the Ohio River. It was the most peaceful place we have ever camped and we were the only ones there. It was truly beautiful. The weather was perfect. The night sounds and the view of the stars made us remember why we camp. To get away from the city, the computer, the cell phones, the laundry, and the housework. It was very peaceful. As some of you may know, there is not a darn thing to do in Derby, IN. On Saturday, we drove up the Interstate to O'Bannon Woods Sate Park and looked around. We spent several hours there walking, exploring, and riding in the wagon. Conner had a picnic lunch at the Lookout of the Ohio. On the way back to camp, we stopped and had a late lunch at the "Overlook Restaurant" in Leavenworth. It was a place I had always wanted to go too. It was a great day. We enjoyed our weekend away.This is our picture window in our camper. It is right by Conner's pack in play where he sleeps. When he woke up, I opened the blinds, and he spent some time taking in the view. The sun was so bright Saturday morning that we only captured the shadows. Hiking O'Bannon Woods State Park.
Walking through the Nature Center
Conner was pointing to everything and grunting.
The Overlook at O'Bannon. Conner had his lunch on a table here.
The boy loves his wagon. This time, he rode it til the wheel fell off.

Cliffs and Rocks everywhere.
Our view was great.
