We love this campground so much! Each time we go, we find something new to add to the list of reasons why it is our favorite.  We traveled with friends this time out and stayed on the opposite side of the campground than we normally stay. The kids played in the pond area more than… Continue reading Shelby for the WIN!

We made it through the blustery cold & gray covered days! Hip Hip Hooray! We are headed out for our first trip of the season this weekend and everyone is ready for it. Packing up this year took us no time at all. From the previous year, I realized taking the extra step to wash,… Continue reading Camping Season Has Arrived!

Ok… Yes, it is December and I am writing about September… ~insert excuses~. This will be a memory post. For our last trip out this season we went to Clay’s Park. Clay’s Park hosts the annual Yankee Peddler Festival on their campgrounds. It is filled with fried treats, homemade goods and foods, face-painting, etc. Lots… Continue reading September Camping

Our second trip out this season was to the Homerville KOA. About 45 minutes west of Akron. For us, that is a perfect length of time for travel. This camping trip was more like a mini vacation. Brian drove us out Tuesday, set us up and left us to fend for ourselves! We had a… Continue reading Extended Stay!

KOA Shelby/Mansfield Yay! We have waited patiently, and it has arrived… our first camping trip of the season. This trip was different then any trip thus far because of the length of stay, totaling 4 nights & 5 days. It was worth it!!! I love our weekend trips, but staying the extra few days (which… Continue reading Let the fun begin!

This Summer was amazing! That may be why winter is hitting me hard this year. I really shouldn’t complain, this past weekend we had 50 degree weather with plenty of sunshine. Today is rainy with no sunshine to be found, so I thought I would dream up some recipes for this summers camping adventures. One… Continue reading Are we almost there yet…

(I meant to post this 3 weeks ago 🙈) Fall is settling upon us… our camping season has come to an end. It was an amazing summer. A lot of fun memories to reminisce upon as the cold settles in and winter arrives. Fall always seems to happen over night. I love that first moment… Continue reading Falling into Winter

This could very well be our last trip out this season. Our weather for the weekend: Upper 70’s low 80’s with plenty of sunshine. Perfection (especially for late September)! We met some new friends in our neighborhood, who also happen to have a camper. They have a seasonal site at Clay’s Park and invited us… Continue reading The last Hooray: Clay’s Park.

Oh the nostalgia. Good Old Yogi Bear. I wasn’t even sure if the boys knew who Yogi Bear or Boo-Boo were, but they still enjoyed seeing the larger than life characters greet campers young and old. Even Benny gave him a high five (very out of character). When we first pulled into camp all the… Continue reading Yogi Bear & Clearwater Park

My parents and Aunt were able to camp with us this weekend, so we found it mandatory to return to Shelby. Perfect weather perfect company to make for another perfect weekend. The Menu: Friday: I made Taco Salads again, LOL. It is so easy to prep ahead of time. We didn’t check in to our… Continue reading Shelby KOA: Take 2
