The Final Day

We got up this morning and began packing up before breakfast with John and family at McDonalds in Lawrenceville.  Back at camp we finished the final pack-up, hook-up and clean-out before heading for Decatur.  We got back about 2:00 and decided to unpack before taking Hunter home.  He was anxious to see mom, dad, and Keegan and we reunited them about 5:30.

It was a fun week.  The weather was perfect considering it was the last week of July.  We enjoyed the time with Hunter.  It was wonderful having so much time with John, Linda, Katie, and Aidan.  Add camping in God's beautiful world and it made for a wonderful time.  I am posting a couple of picture just so they are a part of the journal.

Hunter travels so well...just have a DVD player and a Shawn the Sheep video

                                     

Aidan, Katie and Hunter check out a canon at the George Rogers Clark National Monument.

Hunter would make his ancestors proud with the way he loves to chop wood.

To Moonshine and Back

We woke up to a beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies.  It was a great day to go to Moonshine and back.  Moonshine is a little country store famous for its hamburgers.  The store/restaurant(???) is way, way off the beaten track and serves sandwiches from six in the morning until 12:30 pm when they shut off the grill.  We crested a hill from a tree-lined country road to find 15-20 cars and motorcycles already in the parking lot/field.  You go inside the store to place the order and when it is ready, the food is eaten at picnic tables outside.  This place has been written about in several magazines and it is close to Flat Rock so we wanted to see what the fuss was about.  The food was very good but expensive but it was worth the drive to experience it.

The famous "Moonburger".

Eating our lunch in the "dining room" of Moonshine.

Afterr lunch Carol, Hunter, and I drove to Lincoln Trail State Park to check out the campground.  It is more nicely maintained but the sites aren't as good...no lakeside views.  Someday, we may come back to camp.  Back to camp for the boys to fish, eat supper, and head to VBS.  This will be our last night. We want to have a fire after we get home so this may be a late night.
