"camping"

For our last hurrah of the summer, we took the kids to another KOA. This one was close by in Petaluma. According to the website they had everything for kids. And they were not kidding.

We stayed in a kabin again which turned out to be a good thing as my poor back which gave out again a few days was going to have a tough time on an air mattress. The kids were in heaven as soon as we arrived. This place was designed for kids. It was not the state park camping ground I grew up with, but the kids didn't seem to mind. They immediately hopped on their bikes and rode loops around the kabin. There was a playground, petting zoo, bounce pillow, arcade, rock climbing wall, hay ride, bike parade, snow cones, very large pool, very hot jacuzzi, water slide, craft table, face painting, and even a poolside movie. The kids stayed up late, had smores, played with Susan and her kids, took long naps, and were generally very, very happy. Sure, it wasn't really camping, but we didn't mind.

The wall. Miranda was initially to scared to do it, but they did it better than the other two.
