Summer camping trip

We decided to squeeze in a camping trip this summer.  We figured we probably wouldn't want to take a newborn baby, and this was the only chance we would have for camping this summer!  We got to go with the Renchers, and we got more than a few looks with two 9-months pregnant chicks walking around the campground.

We went to High Cliff State Park which is about 1 1/2 hrs from Milwaukee.  It was on beautiful Lake Winnebago, and we were blessed with fabulous weather and little to no bugs!  The state park used to be part of a limestone quarry and there are still remnants of the old kilns and other fun things to see.  The "cliffs" are made of limestone and the bedrock extends from there all the way up to Niagara Falls.
