Joseph Stewart State Park

After the crazy weekend we landed into one of the nicest places we have stayed in. It was Joseph Stewart State Park. We were able to stay in an awesome spot that had lots of shade and was big enough to set up our swimming pool. The kids had a lot of fun wading in the pool.
Another benefit to this park is that it had a great park and a rock structure with spraying water and a little pond. The kids really loved that!! It was definitely nice since it was over 100 degrees every day we were there.
On two separate days we went to the lake and rented a pontoon boat. That was an awesome experience!! We had so much fun! The best part was finding the swimming docks in the middle of the lake. We were able to just park our boat on the dock and have fun jumping in and swimming around. This was so wonderful! Both days we took a picnic lunch and lots of drinks. Going to the shore wasn't so great because the land was made of a thick, yucky clay that we almost got stuck in. The second day we ended up just driving around the entire lake waiting for one of the swimming docks to be opened up. Once it was we spent a couple of hours on it and had a great time. Both days the kids ended the trip by taking a nap on the boat!!
We had a really great time at this park and hope to come again! Who would have known that such a crazy weekend would bring us to such a great place?

Wow, that does look like a cool park! The mini swimming pool is a great idea. I love the fact the kids are not scared to swim in the lake. Thanks for sharing the fabulous pictures!!!
