Parker & Graham: Waterloo Camping 2016

We have a good family friend, the Hausners, who own a campground in Waterloo, NY. The campground is located on the canal in between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, in the Finger Lakes region. It is a 45 minute drive from our house. We decided to do a quick and easy overnight in June and it worked out so well: we can't wait to go again!

We headed down in the later afternoon after Graham woke from his nap. Our buddy, Justin showed us to a good site and entertained Parker by taking her for some rides on his golf cart. We got the tent set up and then I headed down the street to pick up dinner from a drive-in. I mean, how's that for easy camping??

The kids played in the tent for an hour and had a blast.

When I went to pick up dinner, I had to get cash and right next to the ATM machine at the cash station was a worm dispenser! I picked some up for fishing and Parker made a new friend.

The next morning we had some fruit and bagels and got ready for a little paddling adventure. Before we did that, the kids had a little reading time in the back of the car.

On the canal! Greg used a SUP and took Otis with him. I had both kids in a kayak. Fuzzy Guppies is the "human-powered craft" business that Justin runs from the campground. It was such a nice way to start the morning.
