Pigeon River State Forest

Memorial Day Weekend.

What a great time. We had beautiful weather to swim and play. The nights weren't cold and the kids slept all night. We woke up made breakfast on the fire (potato's, eggs, sausage, pancakes, bacon) then hit the beach. We walked to pickeral lake and sat down there most of the afternoon. We played with the kayak, swam accross the lake with the rafts, and Dan found us turtles. We had a picnic for lunch and Sunday we even fit in a nap in the tent. The evenings we went to town for a cup of coffee and then went looking for Elk. Amazing enough, we saw 15! Saturday night one down a dirt road (that Tyler picked), one in the viewing area...then Sunday, we saw three at the "other" elk viewing then driving back to camp there were 5 right in the road! It was crazy! Then a few on the side of the road.
I think the ENTIRE time we were driving around in the woods, Tyler NEVER stopped talking! From the moment we started...we had to tell him to stop talking when we were by the elk, and he just couldn't. It was so funny...Tyler's famous for his "you know..." stories. Sam would have been happy staying back at the tent. She didn't like the two tracks, bumps, or elk.
Before we left we saw a bald eagle fly around the lake! Perfect way to end our vacation.
