Vacation 2014!!

Since last Thursday we (Cody was technically on Friday. You know that whole working over night thing. :) we have been on vacation down at our (I say our but really my Dad's) camper in Howe, IN. Sprout's schedule has been pretty thrown off this week. Tonight is the first night she has really gone to sleep at her normal bedtime.... really she went to bed before her bedtime tonight. Also she is the one who told me she wanted to go to bed!

When we first came to this campground when I was a young teenager I really did not like this place. It was boring to me. We had come from Yogi Bear Jellystone Park. If you don't know what that place go look it up now! It is amazing! It had 2 pools, 7 lakes, and SO many activities for me and my friends to do! Not to mention I had made a group of friends that we all went for a week on the 4th of July. So I had to leave my friends to a campground that was TINY compared to Jellystone where I knew no one and they barely had anything for a teen to do! Pretty much I thought my life was over (Teenage drama queen here!)

Over the next few years I gained a few friends and this place became like a second home to me. It still is to this day. I love it here now. I feel calm and happy and it is so relaxing after the nonstop go, go, go!

So on this vacation we decided we were only going to do a few musts this year. Cody wanted to fish a lot and I know that with Sprout being a water bug we were going to be at the pool or lake at least daily. I wanted to go to Shipshewana and the Outlets in Fremont.

We went to Shipshewana yesterday (flee market) and today (Cody wanted to show Sprout and I the auctions for the animals). We went to a shop before making it to Joe-Joe's Pretzels! A must stop when you visit! Sprout got her first taste and she LOVED it! So much so that she stole Cody's pretzels.

Cody is going fishing for a good portion of the morning with papa tomorrow so I think I am going to go and take Sprout back and go do a bit of shopping since he doesn't really like the shops (Just the flee market and I hope by now Joe-Joe's)
