Flamingo Campground

Everglades National Park

March 2015

 

This was Kellisa's 3rd visit to the Everglades (11/04 & 1/09) and Laurel's 2nd visit (2/12).

 

 

Flashback Pictures:

 

The girls enjoyed seeing so many large birds around the campground:

 

 

Laurel loves hammering the tent stakes whenever we camp:

 

We picked a walk-in campsite. It's not as easy as a campsite you drive to, but I wanted to be as close to the water as possible. We could have been a little closer, but we arrived as the sun was setting and we still had to eat dinner.

 

Getting ready for bed:

We went exploring as Kellisa slept in a little:

 

This was a big deal- I let Laurel light the match to fire up the stove for breakfast:

 

I think she's saying, "Dad, not a picture while I eat" because I remember her enjoying the eggs and bacon for breakfast:

 

It was quite the treat to watch this nest with babies before leaving the campground:
