Renting kayaks at Desoto Falls





Uncle Paul and Aunt Agatha brought their own kayaks





 












 

 

We paddled a few miles to this dam and what appeared to be a really nice summer camp for kids. We passed another really nice camp along the way and when we got home we found out that the surrounding Mentone area is a haven for summer camps

Some welcome refreshments
 
Everyone else stayed for swimming and then came over to the cabin later for dinner leftovers. We met them at the campsite afterwards for smores.

Finishing off the leftovers for breakfast on our last morning
