Camping at McConnell State Recreation Area

Since Tyler is only a month old, Chesney and Tyler stayed home this year from the annual Malabuyo camping trip. Caleb and I still went though, and had a great time.

This year, we camped at McConnell State Recreation Area at a really nice group camp site all to ourselves. We played some fun games of badminton and volleyball. There was also a river nearby where we cooled off.

It was a smaller group this year, but it was fun, nonetheless. Until next year...
