Camping with the grands

I booked for one night at Oscar Sherer State Park, since it is close to where Doug, Amanda, Dalton and Weston live. They met me at the campsite. I grilled some burgers and dogs. They hung for a bit, then the parents left and the boys and I worked on settling into my tiny camper. They bicycled around a bit, then we took the dogs for a walk and went to bed. The next morning we took another hike, further out, found the small lake. Then back to the campsite to get all packed up. Travel days are hard on kids but we broke up the trip at a fun shake place. Eventually got ourselves settled into Wekiwa State Park Campground. First order of business, get into that fresh spring water. We stayed for hours, then swung out to grab Burger King for dinner. I know, I'm lazy - but they have this great plant-based Whopper! We have convenient access to the bath house via a short trail behind the campsite... the boys got showers, I walked the dogs. Then settled everyone in and got my own shower. I get up in the morning and work before the boys wake up. Once they were up we went right over to rent our canoe. We had to rent a canoe because a kid can't be in a kayak alone and with three of us, a canoe is all we could fit in together. You just paddle up a ways to this place called Wekiwa Island that is just a little party-oriented dock and outdoor bar with a food truck. So that was our plan, to time it so we'd paddle there for lunch. The paddle back was against the current so a bit more work and took twice as long, but it wasn't that hard. Lovely little creek. Pics are of swimming at the springs, kayaking and a dog hike I took later.
