Good morning, everyone!!!
I have to say if you are looking for a place to take your grandchildren camping Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Bloomington, Indiana is definitely it!!! This has been one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in awhile. Yes, even with four kids ranging from the age of 1 to 11.
There is so much to do here for kids and adults. The staff are super nice. The campsites are fantastic. You can be as busy or as lazy as you want. They have things every hour for kids to do.
The grandchildren have had a ball. We've used the water park every day since Monday. They've used the jumping pillow, the playground, done the pledge with Ranger Smith, gotten their pictures taken with Boo Boo Bear and Cindy Bear :) We even attempted the long hike to the water fall but realized that was not a good trail to take a stroller on :)
We've at lunch with Boo Boo Bear, roasted hot dogs over the fire, made kid-friendly kabobs, and grilled burgers :) We've spent a lot of time going down the water slides, even Lil Miss Zoe Belle :) We've taken numerous rides in the golf cart, which Zoe refers to it as the jump jump LOL. Don't ask LOL.
The kids found the biggest pine cones I've ever set eyes on while out on one of our many adventures. They also found some pretty amazing gems in their gem mining fun.
This is truly what life is all about. Taking time out of our normal crazy schedules just to be for a few days. I was really surprised we didn't have more homesickness. Maybe it was because there was so much to do and we kept the kids so busy. Even Lil Miss Zoe Belle did fantastic. I do believe she is fast becoming a papaw's girl LOL. Which I knew this trip would be good to solidify their relationship seeing as he doesn't get to spend as much time with her.
Today we take them all back home. I'm sure their parents have missed them and once they see moms and dads they'll realize how much they've missed them too :) They've all asked to come back here next year :) We'll see. Who knows what we'll come up with for next year :)
Well I guess I should get off of here before this crew starts waking up. It won't be long :)
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
