I know, we just started school, but our family enjoys taking a camping vacation the week of Labor Day, after everyone else has left the campground. This year, we chose Pokagon State Park near Angola. They are famous for their refrigerated toboggan run and the Potawatomi Inn. It was raining when we got there on Monday and rained most of the day on Tuesday. So Tuesday was spent at the Inn playing games and enjoying the nature center. We actually decided to eat at the inn Tuesday night because we didn't want to try to start a fire with wet wood, or stand out in the rain while cooking it. By Wednesday, it had cleared up nicely and warmed up some. We enjoyed the day riding our bikes and fishing. Thursday, Ryan and Alex went fishing again and Nicolas and I rode our bikes around before packing up to come home. It's a nice campground with wonderful trails.

On the bike trail.
There were red squirrels and chipmunks EVERYWHERE. You had to be careful on the bike trail not to hit a chipmunk.
Our campsite. Notice there are NO neighbors. It was so quiet.
