More Yogi Adventures

My two little campers hit the bed last night without a word and slept all the way to 8:00 this morning.  Of, course, as soon as their eyes were open, they were ready for an adventure.

However, first things first...so breakfast

Yogi Bear 2010 017

was served.  Today's menu was homemade blueberry waffles and bananas, with a little milk to wash it all down.

Now, dressed, teeth brushed, and hair combed, we were all out the door for a

Yogi Bear 2010 029

little morning hike.  Of, course, our souvenir Yogi's had to come along.

We hiked through the RV Park to the back of the park where they have this

Yogi Bear 2010 031

great section of air conditioned, fully furnished cabins.

As we made our way back to the front of the park, Caden

Yogi Bear 2010 018

felt the need to try to catch this little squirrel.  LOL...the squirrel couldn't get up the tree fast enough!

On to The Ranger Station for morning call and the arrival of

Yogi Bear 2010 043

Yogi.  Again, Caden and Kourtney needed to greet him from afar.  However, they love

Yogi Bear 2010 035

this Yogi and

Yogi Bear 2010 048

this Yogi.

Next, they wanted to make a stop at the Comfy Station

Yogi Bear 2010 054

for a little playtime.  While Caden worked the computer, Kourtney decided she

Yogi Bear 2010 052

her hand at the matching game.

We finished up our

Yogi Bear 2010 061

walk...stopping back at the motor home for a snack, while waiting for the

Yogi Bear 2010 062

craft center to open.

Our next adventure for the day was

Yogi Bear 2010 065

painting your own shirt.  They had lots of fun, each being

Yogi Bear 2010 066

creative

Yogi Bear 2010 070

in their own way, while watching

Yogi Bear 2010 072

what else, but Yogi Bear cartoons.

It didn't take Caden long to finish his shirt and he was urging

Yogi Bear 2010 073

Koutney to be finished with hers.

Soon, they were both finished and ready to

Yogi Bear 2010 079

show off their great talent!

Now, all that coloring worked up a real appetite.  So, we stopped by the motor home, picked up Poppa, and headed to where else, but the

Yogi Bear 2010 091

Picnic Basket Cafe.  They ordered our lunch of chicken tenders and fries which we enjoyed it

Yogi Bear 2010 081

out by the pool.

Lunch brings us to naptime with a promise of an afternoon trip to the water park.  Kourtney is a typical girl, and wearing yet another

Yogi Bear 2010 113

new swim suit.  One of five she brought for a 3 day trip.  Can't wait until she is 16. LOL

Caden just wanted his water gun filled up!

Then it was time to get down to business...the slides!

And, surprisingly after a couple of trips

Yogi Bear 2010 123

 

Yogi Bear 2010 121

with Poppa, they decided they could do it by themselves.

So, off they went

Yogi Bear 2010 174

up the steps...and time after time

Yogi Bear 2010 149

down they came...first Caden

Yogi Bear 2010 161

then Kourtney.

Sometimes they came

Yogi Bear 2010 167

really fast.  And sometimes they came

Yogi Bear 2010 156

head first.  But, nothing stopped them.  Oh, so much fun.  Then Caden wanted to expand his adventure and he and Poppa climbed

Yogi Bear 2010 136

to the top of the

Yogi Bear 2010 137

tube slide and down they came and

Yogi Bear 2010 138

out they came.

Then it was one last time on the big green slide with the knowledge that they had both

Yogi Bear 2010 172 

accomplished

Yogi Bear 2010 170

something new.

It was time to call it a day.

Now, back at the motor home we got baths and jumped into our PJ's while Poppa grilled hamburgers.

And, now, all is quite and we are anxiously awaiting to see what adventure our last day with Yogi will bring...

Has Anyone Seen Yogi?

Today finally arrived, the day Caden and Kourtney got to

Yogi Bear 2010 002

board the bus for their first summer adventure with Moppa and Poppa.  Once they were snug in their

Yogi Bear 2010 004

seats, we were off.  Destination...

Yogi Bear 2010 007

Yogi Bear Lone Star Park in Waller, Texas.  This is a great park for kids and we chose a great week to be here...before all the schools are out for the summer.  Our drive was about 3 1/2 hours which was just perfect.  Not one "are we there yet" until about 15 miles from Waller.

They traveled great and entertained each other and us too.  Once we arrived, we checked in at

 Yogi Bear 2010 094

The Ranger Station where we were assigned to our

Yogi Bear 2010 045

site.

After getting the motor home set up, it was time for lunch.  We couldn't get finished quick enough to

Yogi Bear 2010 012

get outside to run and check out the park.

First, we stopped by The Ranger Station to turn in our permission slips for using the pools and water park facilities.  And, while we were there,

Yogi Bear 2010 015

Yogi, himself showed up.  Now, we weren't quite as anxious to find Yogi as we thought...so he was admired

Yogi Bear 2010 018

from a distance, while

Yogi Bear 2010 019

Poppa posed for the picture.

Then it was off to check out the Comfy Station...a place for all that are younger than five.  It was really a  fun room with

Yogi Bear 2010 024

lots of interactive walls and

Yogi Bear 2010 034

stations.  There were

Yogi Bear 2010 037

funny mirrors to look into and

Yogi Bear 2010 033

and giant shapes to ride on.  This room was a big hit!

We continued our walk around the park and found the

Yogi Bear 2010 043

animals at the petting zoo.

Next stop, the bus...for nap time, which was followed by a late afternoon trip to

 Yogi Bear 2010 081

water park.

Caden had a great time on the

Yogi Bear 2010 078

slide and

Yogi Bear 2010 067

dodging the falling water.

Kourtney wasn't quite sure she liked sliding without

Yogi Bear 2010 071

Poppa.  She was more into

Yogi Bear 2010 080

watching from poolside.  After all that fun, there was

Yogi Bear 2010 088

a little lounging that needed to be done.

Then it was back to the motor home for baths, dinner, a short walk, and last but not least a little

Yogi Bear 2010 121

small talk before heading in for bedtime.

See you all tomorrow for more adventures with Yogi!
