Last weekend we took our last camping trip of the season. Since all of the places we like to camp in the mountains are burning, we decided to check out Three Islands Crossing State Park. It was like we were camping in a park because everything was grass and it was just outside of town. It definitaley was not the way we usually camp but we enjoyed ourselves.
The girls got new camp chairs that they were very excited to try out. It worked very well to have them sit in the chairs and use the picnic table bench as their table.
Ryleigh had fun throwing the frisbee with Dad that she got from the park ranger when we camped Memorial Day weekend.
She also enjoyed "walking" Lizzie around the campground.
We hiked down to see the three islands that the pioneers on the Oregon Trail used as stepping stones to cross the Snake River.
Behind us, you can see the trail the pioneers cut out of the hill to get to the river.
They also had a ferry that looked like Glenn's Ferry that the pioneers eventually used instead of crossing on their own.
After our hike, Ryleigh wanted to get her picture taken with Lizzie in front of these wagons.
There was also an interpretive center that we visited.
This was outside the interpretive center.
Ryleigh thought it was pretty cool that the pioneer girls played with dolls too.
She had fun loading the wagon. I think she ended up doing it 3 times before we finally told her we were done.
The day we left we drove to the other side of the river to the overlook of the three islands. They used the first two islands but not the third.
