High Cliff Camping

Our first stop this camping trip was at Mud Creek Coffee in Stockbridge, WI; Tom and I fell in love with this little cafe/coffee shop. We arrived at our campsite #105 on Tuesday July 20 and we stayed until today (the 20th). It was a very exciting first night of camping. Right after we finished setting up our campsite and Sawyer and Mason doing a lot of rock climbing on the HUGE rock at our campsite we jumped into the truck to check out the rest of the campground. When we arrived at the lake we realized that due to the extreme heat of the summer the water was green and nasty so we crossed swimming off our agenda immediately. We then noticed the sky and how dark it was turning. We found a Park Ranger and he did not seem very concerned so we headed back to our campsite. Right when we got there the Park Rangers were already going through the campsite telling everyone to take shelter! We left the boys in the truck, secured all our belongings and headed out. We drove back to Mud Creek Coffee to have dinner; the people there were so nice and even allowed us to stay there past closing time just so we would be safe. We had a relaxing time visiting with them while they cleaned and drinking the coffee they were about ready to dump out. The worst of the storm had passed but it was still drizzling just a little bit so we continued driving South and visited Uncle Tony, Kaylee, Kennedy and Cameron (Aunt Rachel was just heading out the door when we got there to go to work).

Our second day there we enjoyed time taking hikes around the campground and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Winnebago. We also went and visited Aunt Amber, Treyton, Alexa and Audrey. The kids had a lot of fun together running around and Sawyer loved wrestling with Treyton.

On the third day we headed up to Bay Beach in Green Bay and had a FUN packed day there as well. Aunt Amber, Treyton, Alexa, Audrey, MieMie, Emma, Ava, Cousin Marti, Lexie and Julia also joined us there. It was kind of a drizzy, cold day but we still had a blast. Afterwards we all meet Aunt Toni at Serious Burger for dinner.

The final day there we did some more walking around at High Cliff and even got Sawyer to climb the tower; Mason had no problem going to the top but Sawyer was much more cautious. After every camping trip we all come home tired and filled with lots of memories!!!
