Making low budget memories. Pitched our tents on the lawn, had mountain pies for supper, played corn hole till way past dark, (that’s what lanterns are for) made scrumptious breakfast over an open fire (couldn’t tell if it was a heavy mist or a light rain for awhile), played a little more corn hole and called it a family vacation! Oh yes, a few of the more ambitious ones got up early and went fishing on the Water shed. By their say-so they caught 114 fish in an hour… catch and release of course.
