Wednesday I took Amelia backpacking. We got in some awesome daddy-daughter time, and the site was perfect! The trail was around a quarter mile long, going through a field, a patch of woods, and ending up on the lakeshore. She was so proud that she carried her pack the entire way. We camped at Bowman Lake, West of Baldwin. This is off of a small spur of the North Country Trail. Great place to take the kids.
Amelia looks at the lake for the first time.
Here we are eating mac-n-cheese. She dipped her spork in for the first spoonful, ate it, closed her eyes and said "Mmmm." Like mac-n-cheese can feed the soul. It was Kraft Deluxe Sharp Cheddar, so maybe it's true.
Fun, red mushrooms on trail around lake.
A leopard frog, I think.
Mazers enjoying the lake on the "slip and slide bench." The bench is the standard park service bench, but the posts are starting to be forced out of plumb by the hill sliding into the lake. The bench is angled toward the ground and her tiny butt didn't have enough traction to stay on for long. My butt didn't suffer the same issue.

Sounds like you had a great time. Glad to hear you spend time with your children. Keep up the good work and God Bless your time together.
I looked at the picture of Amelia a little closer and it looks like someone can't read the campsite post next to the site concerning keeping the site clean. Lots of beverage can pop-tops on the ground.
There was a pile of them from a previous camper. The site was very clean except for that, almost like they had gathered them to take out, and forgot. We took them out in our trash.
