Deep Creek Lake 2015

So had a pretty short ride from Rocky Gap to Deep Creek state park.We stopped at Burger King to have some lunch and let Elle out to go to the bathroom. We had a pretty decent site at Deep Creek it was a little small and right next to the road but Paul didn't get to mad at me while backing him so win. We got everything set up and the trailer open and went to the lake to play at the playground with the kids. My parents arrived around 8 so we met them at the entrance to the park and made some dinner. We sat by the fire for a little while and went to sleep.

Saturday we all took a walk to the nature center and looked at the animals, mostly frogs and turtles, then went to the aviary. I want to say they had a bald eagle, a red tailed hawk, peregrine falcon, horned owl, barn owl, and a screech owl. It really is cool seeing these birds up close, they were feeding them when we got there and we were able to talk to the handlers about them. We headed back to the camper and the kids made friends with the kids up the road from us and we had some sinner before we drove to the Garrett county fair. I've never been to a fair this big, the had $10 dollar wrist bands for the kids to ride the rides and it was so worth the money. They had a ton of really great rides including a big ferris wheel. They also had tractor pulls and animals; pigs, cows,rabbits, goats, and chickens. I'm assuming they were show animals or auctions. The kids had a lot of fun at the fair we met up with the friends from the campground for a little bit and had some fair food. All in all a great night.

Sunday my parents had to leave to go home so we waiting for them to leave around 2 before we went to the lake to swim. Other then that we didn't do much that day.

Monday we went t the local putt putt course and Paul wooped all of us as usual although JP won a free game because he got his ball in the clowns nose on the last hole. I hate mini golf with a passion, I'm horrible at it and I never win so it's really no fun for me. The things we do for our kids right? They have a small arcade the building so we played some games and air hockey JP won 200 tickets on one of the games so they were able to use the tickets to get toys. They also have a rock climbing wall that the kids insisted on climbing that we paid for, of course JP ckickened out and the bottom and while Kenzie was on it it started pouring so they let her try again after the rain stopped, she got like foot from the top and got scared so she let go. We left there and got ice cream at the local creamery and took another trip to Walmart to get trash bags that I forgot Saturday when Paul and I went to Walmart for trash bags. I'm not really sure why we took so many trips to Walmart but thank goodness they're basically everywhere. After we left there we took an impromptu trip to swallow falls state park and went for a hike with the kids. Paul and I use to tent camp there, it's a nice little campground but I want to say that the camper we have is to big to fit in any of the sites there now. After we did the hike and saw the waterfalls we went back to the camper and had marshmallows and went to bed.

Tuesday we packed up and headed to Harpers Ferry which wasn't in the plan but is always a good trip.
