Waldo Lake

The water is so blue, someone said it's like looking into a vat of blue kool aid when you paddle out to the middle.
We camped for two nights, which was the max we could stand with our dirty little mosquito-bitten sidekick not sleeping well in the tent. It was great fun, it really was - but also a LOT of work.
We camped with three other families. We were: twelve kids ranging from one to 16, eight adults, three dogs, one canoe and at least four bags of marshmallows. We would do it again - with this group it was so easy. Delicious meals magically appeared on the picnic table, dishes were done with minimal complaint - even the kids pitched in.


But we'll wait til next summer to try camping with the Goose again. It took a full week for her to get back on a good nighttime schedule, and at least that long to get all the laundry done....

agreed! camping with littles is a little challenging! but i also agree i think by next summer it will be such a smoother experience! looks like you all managed to have a good time in spite! hope to see you and your sweet family soon. i know things are nuts with fall time soccer- we're part of that club now... but maybe we could make it happen....
love you. xs
