Camp Far West Lake

Our new favorite hang out! Lately as the weather has warmed up we have found a new love! Camp Far West Lake is only about 25 minutes from our home and it is perfect for the overnight quick camping trips. A great place for the kids to run and be free and explore and Mark can be in his element too! A few weekends ago we went up on a Friday night with the Hinson's and some other friends and had a campfire and smores. As it got late, the moms and babies packed up and went home and the awesome Dad's roughed it out through the night and camped with the kids. My kind of camping! :)







Two weekends ago we headed up to Camp Far West Lake on Saturday afternoon and took, the jet ski, Neal brought their canoe and our friends Dave and Ali joined us as well as the Haar's who brought their boat. The kids had a blast taking turns on the boat, tubing, going for rides on the jet ski with Mark and just getting dirty digging and playing on the shoreline. We couldn't leave with out building a campfire again and having treats and toasted leftover pizza on a stick (see last picture) haha! We are loving the beautiful sunny weather and I'm sure we'll be taking many more trips to the lake this coming summer! Thanks Haar's for sharing your boat with us!

I wanna come, I wanna come!! I know I have a reputation as not being much of a camper (which is true) but an evening of campfire and smores would be lots of fun!!!

HOW FUN!!! Sounds like you guys have found your little "gem"!! Am I hearing a season pass to this one? (I'm sure Mark's already on top of that!) We'll have to join you some time for a family trip!
