7th Annual Cousin's Camping


7 years running and the weather on Cuzzies Camping always seems to surprise us.  We've had everything from extreme heat (6 years ago it was SUPER HOT like this year) to snow and just about every temperature in between.  You guys sure are troopers to continue to put up with us touring you around the Midwest in search of new and interesting places to camp.  This year was Devil's Lake and even though it was near 100 degrees when we did our 3 mile, 2 hour hike, the views were amazing and the hike was worth it!


Even Hiker Hazel and Abby stuck with us and hiked the entire way.  This year we've really made huge strides in the hiking department.  We no longer carry them in the backpacks and even Abby was excited to explore (well, I should clarify, she was excited at the beginning, far less so at the end!).


And, after our long hot hike it seemed like a terrific idea to load up our chairs and a cooler and head to the beach.  That is, it was a great idea for the 15 minutes we were there before the downpour!  But, we made the most of it and laughed the entire way home.  


All in all, another great trip in the books.  We always look forward to Cuzzies Camping each year.  Our group changes a little each year (some years we've had nearly 20 people) and as more new babies are being added it's going to grow even more.  We're already planning for next year's trip...and potentially Cuzzies Upgraded 2020 (in which we ditch the campers and tents for an all inclusive beach resort in Feb).  We'll see!
