The Holley Pack: Ponderosa State Park

Thursday after my CPR refresher The Holley Pack headed to McCall for a couple of days of camping in Ponderosa State Park. We arrived around 5 o'clock. The Lowe Family was gracious enough to share their campsite with us for the weekend. We set up camp and settled in. I took the dogs out for a walk around the park desperately trying to wear them so they wouldn't keep me up in the tent or wake me up at the crack of dawn.

Friday morning we woke up and took our time getting ready to hike to Box Lake. While trying to prepare our lunch for the hike Ben (Jim and Jenni's son) decided to "help" Mike with the cooler. Anything Mike put in, Ben took out and set on the ground. The game went on for a while and

provided laughs for everyone.

We hiked, or tried to hike, all the way into Box Lake but there was too much snow and we lost the trail. We settled for eating lunch in the mountains and then headed back to camp.

Mike and I then took off to explore more of the state park. We found a small beach for Beck to swim at but the water was really rough and the poor girl wasn't able to swim all that much. We were able to take a better tour later in the day once some of our friends showed up and allowed us to use their bikes to tour the park. I have to thank Sarai for showing us around.

After the bike ride it was time to eat, and boy did we. Jim bought 10, yes 10 pounds of carne asada. We feasted on tacos, rice, beans, chips, and dip. Then dessert followed with fabulous pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips. I ate my way to a stomach ache. Mike was cracking us up by trying on Kennedy's (Susie's niece) biking gear. Back off ladies, he is all MINE!
