This is the first summer in the past several that we have not spent a whole week camping at Delaware State Park. Last night we camped just for the night while Jake went to a Birthday party of one of his best friends near by. I spread the moth broth on a nearby tree. Later when I checked there were several moths visiting but I thought I would wait until the girls were with me to take photos. Bad idea-after returning from watching Lilo & Stitch drive-in style we excitedly checked again-nothing! But this morning I did find this guy outside the bath house
not such a good shot…but he was big! Side note-the bucket of moth broth was hijacked into the woods by some raccoons. Yes, the whole bucket was gone this morning. There must of been some party going on in those bushes!
I love this park. There is so much to do here; hiking, fishing and it is really big. Today we went for a bike ride.
And of course there is always the beach. I use this term very loosely… as well this is the best we got here in the middle of Ohio..and it aint much! But my kids love it.
The photos make this place look pretty good-buyer beware! Litter everywhere, duck poop everywhere, cigarette butts and foul language everywhere. And not your regular old potty talk. Lord knows I can keep up with the best of them! But, grown men calling their friends pussy in front of theirs as well as everyone else’s kids. I sort of draw the line with that and the “C” word! The sand is granulated dirt and the water is muddy green color. Sounds great huh?
And there were these creepy crawly things EVERYWHERE! Anyone know what these are?
It was a lot of packing up and unpacking for one night but all in all it was fun and glad we got to get away for the night!
This week Molly is attending camp at a craft museum as she has for the past several summers. It is only 1/2 a day so I am hoping to find some time for a few activities at home too. Stay tuned.

I wish hubby was a camper, but he so isn’t, and I can’t face camping with four kids on my own!

Sounds like summer to me. I want to go camping there! Would you recommend it over Hocking Hills?
