Lamoine State Park Camping Trip



We just returned from a weekend of camping at Lamoine State Park--our first camping trip of the year. Don't you think that the meteorologists stretch the truth a little bit when it's a holiday weekend? The forecast was for Friday and Saturday to be partly cloudy. I guess that was true, but the they didn't mention that all of the clouds would contain rain. We stayed Friday and Saturday nights at the park, and Saturday afternoon did actually turn out to be okay, weather-wise. We also spent the late Saturday morning and early afternoon at the playground and beach after we'd packed up the camper.

The park is a great spot--less than an hour from our house and right on Frenchman's Bay. There is a pebble beach and a huge grassy day-use area, not to mention a great playground for Avery. Avery enjoyed throwing rocks into the ocean, which you can see if you check out the photo album that we put up online (you can click on the photo album below too). He calls the big rocks "dozers." We think because it sounds like boulders, which we tried to explain to him was the word for big rock. The campsites are nicely spaced and plenty large.

This was Paige's first camping trip, and she did really well. She slept well and generally enjoyed herself.

We're looking forward to spending Memorial Day at Gram Richard's house with the family.
