Campin with the grandkids








Left Benny at the airport Tuesday morning and headed out with Ryan and Annie Tuesday afternoon. Fun campground at Harrisville, PA. It was a Jellystone with all the bells and whistles; pool, beach volleyball, mini golf, basketball, biking, hiking, mallet pool and more. Had a wonderful time but could have used a little more sun. Annie still went swimming every day but the thunderstorms got in the way and kept us up one night.

Day trip to the Living Treasurers Wild Animal park. Riding the camel was the highlight. Then on to McConnell Mill State Park to explore the trails, the old gristmill and the covered bridge. Got caught in a downpour on the way back to the car.



We ended the trip at Tionesta campground in the Allegheny National Forest. Beautiful place with surprises amenities like mini golf and a huge playground and sports field. Lots of campfires and smores along with hiking and biking. The Allegheny River Trail is a scenic bike path that goes for miles along the river with the forest on the other side. Lovely ride with interpretive signs along the way describing the turn of the century oil discoveries and oil barons.

Home again to put the grandkids on the plane to see Grandma Linda in Washington.
