Relaxing and Fun-filled Day!

Our time at French Creek has certainly been a lot of fun and very relaxing!  Today was another perfect weather day with plenty of sunshine and in the mid 70's.  What more would you ask for when camping? 

We had a "slow" relaxing morning sitting around chatting and enjoying our tea and coffee.  Had a great cooked breakfast with the added bonus of some delicious pastries from the St. Peters Village Bakery.  They were given to us by the owner when we left there Friday night, since they did not have our called in table reservation.  All the tables were reserved when we got there, but fortunately one on the deck was available until 7:30 and we were able to use it.  Then another party didn't show, so we could use their table.  But, the owner felt badly about the mix-up and gave us the free pastries.  Worked for us!!!!

After clean-up, we took a walk around all the campground loops and we certainly gained many more campers for the weekend.  But, the CG is still very quiet!  Today we spent time sitting around just chatting about life and playing several games of cards with the men always being victorious.  Doloris and I just didn't get good hands dealt to us.  Not sure what was going on.  Ken says it isn't what you are dealt, it is how you play the cards.  Doloris and I were quick to tell him what we thought of that philosophy!!!

We did take a walk to on a trail to Scott's Run Lake before we started dinner.  What a pretty area! 

This walk out on the fallen tree was abit of a "stretch" for
Ken.  He really has trouble with heights!

An interesting "arrangement" of the fallen trees!

 Another delicious meal over the campfire with "snakes" for dessert.  If you have never had a snake, you must give it a try.  The men had spent some time earlier in the day whittling proper "snake sticks" so we had to give them a try.  For those who aren't familiar with them, you open crescent rolls and wrap one of the triangles of dough over the trip of the stick and then around the stick for about 4".  Then you "bake" the dough over the fire like you would if toasting a marshmallow.  Believe it or not, when it is finished cooking, it will come right off the stick.  Then you stuff it with whatever you like - peanut butter, marshmallows, jelly, chocolate, or a combination of everything.  What a dessert treat!

What a day!  None of us are ready to even think about going home!  This is just too much fun!  We certainly have a great time camping with Doloris and Fred.

This beautiful flower we found on the ground was a
perfect match to my homemade coconut fish with the
palm branch tail!  Love his pouty mouth!

The campsites here are large with great fire rings
and sitting areas.  Doloris and I had come the end of
April to walk the campground and find the best sites
for us to camp together.  They were perfect!
