I woke up to a bright, sunny morning. The kids were still asleep so I got up and went outside the tent. Dylan and Victoria were also still sleeping. The whole campground was pretty quiet actually.
I walked down to the lake to see if there was anything interesting down there. I saw a Merganser duck swim by. I am always amused by the Merganser duck because it always looks like he has Bed-Head, the way his feathers stick out the way they do.
Red-eyed Vireos were singing in the trees.
When I got back to the campsite, everyone was up and ready for another day at the beach. When it got close to lunch time, Victoria and I went back to the dining tent to whip up some food for everyone. That's when we first saw the little brown rabbit.
It was just hanging out near the edge of the campsite, chewing on some leaves and grass. The kids were still down at the beach so they didn't get to see it.
While we were watching the rabbit a Banded-wing Fly landed near by. They are harmless. I just like the unusual pattern on the wings.
Later in the afternoon I decided to take a drive around the park to see what the dog beach was like and to check out some of the other areas.
The dog beach is also a boat launch. I would say it is more of a boat launch than anything else. There was nothing special here for dogs. No benches or picnic tables to sit at while your dog swims. It was a bit lacking really.
The group campsite was near the dog beach so I stopped to check it out. It is situated on site number 89.
The group campsite was very large and very open. There is plenty of space for many tents on this site. It was a very nice area.
There was a cute spot under some cedar trees where there were a couple of picnic tables.
The fire pit here was an unusual shape.
I drove over the bridge and noticed that there was some green fencing running along the side.
On the other side of the fence was an area for playing horse shoes.
By the time I got back from exploring the park, Victoria had supper cooking on the grill of the fire pit.
We had hamburgers with cheese melted on top. They were delicious! We all gathered in the dining tent to eat our supper.
While we were eating our supper, we noticed that the little brown bunny was back. He was hanging out underneath my car.
This time the kids saw it too. It was all we could do to keep the kids sitting still enough so that they wouldn't scare it away.
I had to leave to go home later that evening, but Dylan, Victoria and the kids stayed an extra night. I waved good bye to them as I drove away and I saw the bunny still quietly eating grass near the edge of the campsite. Maybe if we come back again next year, the bunny might come back to visit us again.
