This year we have TWO trips to Steamboat Rock State Park planned, and we are very happy about that. We took our first trip for eight days with our friends the Bonnells and the Schmalzes, and Grandpa and Grandma Keene. This trip was pretty amazing. The weather was hot: above 100 degrees a couple of days. The water was high and the air was calm. We only had one bad mosquito day out of eight, which is fabulous, and the food and company was wonderful. I took 400 pictures and narrowed it down to just a few to post. It’s so tough to choose!
