BEAUTIFUL Lake Shawnee State Park, Topeka, KS

We have been here for a few days now, and we LOVE it!  It is gorgeous!  The sun is shining, the skies are blue, and it is only in the 70's!  Too cool!  Especially for this Texas girl.  :)
This place quickly became one of our new favorite places to camp.  Not only do we have all the ammenities, but the kids can run and play and be kids!  :)  It is only $18/night too.  Really nice. 

 The kids have gotten a lot of use out of this wonderful playground.  Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!

This picture, below, is literally our view from our RV!  You step out the door, or look out the window, and this is the site you see.  Just lovely......


Do you know that last night was our FIRST night, since we've been on the road, to have a campfire as a family?!  Either the RV park we were at did not allow campfires, or it was raining, or we just honestly didn't think about it! 
As soon as Hannah saw the fire ring on our site, she asked if we could, so Todd ran to the store and got stuff for smores. ;)



Did I mention that it was some SERIOUS smores eatin'?  YUM!
It was such a great night.  As it got darker, we all sat by the fire and talked and shared "ghost stories," which were really just silly stories, or really lame "wanna-be" scarey stories that would make us all laugh.  :)
We also witnessed a precious geese family swimming by!
Do you know that this was the FIRST time that I, let alone my children, have ever seen geese swimming like that!?  I have seen pics in the classic children's book, Make Way For Ducklings, but I have never seen it right in front of me!  It was soo sweet and peaceful.

Just when I thought that it could not get any better,  the Lord gave us this amazing sunset.
It is just majestic.  Priceless....
Blessings,
Steph
