Story

On Saturday, We had a great time kayaking on the pond. Cooper went through three sets of clothes because he kept getting wet when he wasn't supposed to. We skipped rocks and read books in hammocks and talked around camp and took a mile or two hike down the river. We also hiked up to the top of the waterfall and found a few more smaller waterfalls above. Ondy went home because Jaren was feeling anxious about the drive.
