Camping at Copper Falls

Last weekend we drove through beautiful Northern Wisconsin forests, a collage of red, orange, yellow and greet colors mixed together to go camping at Copper Falls State Park. While we hiked through beautiful, vibrant forests, stared at amazing waterfalls and cooked on a campfire, one of the best features of our trip was the least expected, a small lake surrounded by forest with a little swimming beach. Sarah spent hours each day playing in the sand and even better, taking off her shoes and wading through the water. She would run through the sand, covering her appendages with "dirt" and then run to the water and wash it all off, calling the bits of foam along the edge of the sand her soap. She splashed, she shuffled, and she jumped until she was exhausted, soaked from the belly button down. When we finally extracted her from the shore, she smelled like a fish and begged to go back the next day.
