We have been planning this camping trip since February since you always have to get your tickets way ahead of time, but we made it back to Alger Island! We had come here with Brooklyn friends 4 years before and we made it back with new friends this year. We invited a few families but last minute only one was able to make it and it was so nice to spend the camping days with Delsa and her kids. She is such a strong woman and it was fun getting to know her better and her kids were good to help out. Alger Island is fun because you have to rent a boat and take all your camping gear on the boat to the island with you. There are no cars that go to the island so you also don't have to worry about animals on the island. We set up camp and explored around the island for a bit before jumping in the water and playing. We made dinners together each night which was fun. The next day we took the boat out and explored the lake, finding a rope swing that everyone loved. Spencer dropped me off at the dock so I could still get my run in since I'm training for a race and it worked perfect that they went off and swam for a bit while I ran and then they came back to the dock to get me. I love camping with the kids even though it's a pretty sleepless night but there is something about being outdoors and barefoot that is so fun and nostalgic.
