We arrived on Thursday night and began to set up right away. We made hot dogs and brats for dinner and explored the site. We headed to bed to rest up for all of the fun we had planned for the next day.
When we got up we took an impromptu bike ride to the beach. It was beautiful so we let the kids swim in their underwear! Because it was impromptu I didn't have the camera...bummer.
We headed back to the site to get ready for our trip the the Riverview Water Park...it was dollar days. All 9 of us got in for $27! You can't pay that for one ticket at any of the other water parks. The kids had a blast riding go karts, going on the water slides and splashing around.
Casey was so excited to ride the "race cars"
Casey enjoyed the slide...no surprise.
The surprise was how much Caleb enjoyed it too!

Friday afternoon we headed back to the site for some campfire stew. The kids enjoyed hanging out and biking around. I also got them started on a collection of caterpillars.
Here is Caleb and Hailey relaxing in their camp chairs.
All the kids watching Oscar...the caterpillar
We headed straight to the beach to enjoy the sunny, but windy day. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and swimming. Matt made an awesome sand island for the kids.
Saturday afternoon my dad and Sheryl joined us. They made us ribs for dinner...yum!
The kids had a great time hanging out at the site that night. It was really a beautiful night.
Sunday we had a Father's day breakfast...made by my dad. Then it was time to pack up. Since it was a nice day we decided to hang out at the beach and take the boys for a little hike.
What's a family vacation without a dead battery?
Casey and Matt had some fun out in the "deep water"
Caleb enjoyed throwing rocks around (it was the closest thing he had to a ball at that time)
Cuddled up and ready for lunch
This is my favorite picture from the trip. Casey looks like such a big boy out on that rock
So long Devil's Lake...thanks for the memories!
