The Annual Craft Fair is upon us again.... Lets hope the ladies saved enough money up!
The trip up to the campground was smooth and very light on traffic as we made our trip up early Thursday morning so we could spend some time over at the craft fair before the crowds built up as the days progressed.

Not crowded yet...... |
Each year we find that there are some really good new vendors mixed in with the regulars. One reason or another, someone backs out or doesn't renew in time and their spot is taken by someone on the waiting list. This year was no exception and we found a really awesome vendor who made plaster castings of your families hands which made a great memory. The photo really doesn't describe the detail that this captured,.... all the skin lines and fingerprints are there.

Someone is growing up way to fast! |
We also made sure to have down time over the weekend to stay at the campground and do some fun things with the kids. Since most of the people there are vendors or are attending the fair, the campground is nice and empty during the day. I flew my drone from the far side of the lake away from everyone and took this photo of the fall colors and campers. We are in the patch of trees in the center of the photo just beyond the brown dirt of the lake.

Here is our campsite from the ground, all set up and comfortable. We like this site as it is set into the trees and lets us have plenty of space and away from the main traffic flow through the campground.

Some of the other activities we did at the campground were crafting, reading, and fishing. As you can see, it was a fairly warm October and the kids were able to be comfortable in tee shirts and shorts most of the time during the day. Ally and Bella caught a few fish thoughout the hour or so they were fishing, and even caught one at the same time!

Both the girls caught a fish! |

The covered bridge at the end of the campground nestled against the trees |
I explored the skies a little more and took a photo of this covered bridge at the end of our campground, and drove around a bit looking at some others but they were pretty tight into the trees to photograph. Neat to use the drone for some unique angles and photos on every day locations.
So, we packed up the truck with all our craft fair findings and knick-knacks and headed for home on Sunday afternoon. We would be leaving again on Friday for our final trip of the season.
