We needed a vacation! Some local friends recommend the Mochican State Park. So off we went. It's about 1 1/2 hours away from Cleveland. We splurged and got the cool cabin with a hot tub on the deck and a full kitchen! I said we needed a vacation. My hot tub picture seemed to have disappeared. We loved the "hot pool" as Abby called it. It was nice because we turned down the heat and it was perfect for Abby. And nice and relaxing for us. We probably spent a total of 4 hours in the hot tub.
For mothers day they gave all the mothers a free round of mini-golf. It was fun, but man it was a hard course. I never claim to be an expert but I couldn't get the ball in the hole for anything. They also had canoeing and I really wanted to go, Ernie would have come too but Abby said no way. Maybe later in the summer I can convince her.
Here is Abby being pouty because "I'm not a good fisher" Minutes later dad caught our first fish.
Here is our fancy schmancy kitchen. The cabin was beautiful. Cable was a treat and we loved watching the Disney Channel during our down time. The only 2 things I would change is the couch was not that comfortable and neither was the beds. The cabin had 2 doubles and 2 twins, needless to say coming from our "King isn't quite big enough at home", Ernie slept on one double and I slept on the other.
If I had to pick the best part of the weekend it would be the fishing, well and the beautiful weather on Saturday. Grandpa Bob made quite the fisher out of Abby, she even has her own fishing rod, Abby will correct you if you call it a pole. Sadly we left it at home. The gift shop had some to buy for $20, but we decided to get the primitive pole without a rod for $3.99, a net, and some worms. The campground has 2 catch and release lakes. On the bigger lake no one was catching anything, so we went to the smaller lake. And the fish didn't like our worms, but they liked hot dogs. So we probably caught about 15 fish. Abby loved it and couldn't wait to go again Sunday morning, but unfortunately it was pouring rain by the time we woke up.

We had so much fun we did not want to come back, 2 days was not long enough.

Can you camp in tents there? We need to go there. Looks like you had a great mothers day. Happy belated Mothers Day, Misty!
Abbys school looks like it would be a blast even for adults. Those xylophones (?) look huge!
