Today was the best kind of day: full of wonderful places and most importantly spending time with wonderful people. We were with dear friends and then had a few adventures alone. Lovely memories! On the way back from our first adventure, we took a quick detour.
Having driven by the Conestoga Lake sign many times, I thought it was high time that we stopped! The park was so close to the main road and to Denton – a great location!
Conestoga Lake is one of the many state recreation areas across Nebraska. I appreciate the fact that these areas can be found in SO many places across our state. 87 possibilities to be exact! As our kids continue to grow, I hope that we will make these outings happen more often. And that we will have time to actually stop, as opposed to just driving into the parking lot like we did today! This is why I plan to add a similar sticker (like the one below) every year from now on!
This year we bought these little Nebraska park permit stickers for BOTH of our vehicles for UNDER $40. Now we can stop at state parks when we are out and about – totally worth the outdoor adventures that await! I do believe that walking around Conestoga Lake would be a fun outing!
I am happy to announce that for my first bloGIVEversary prize, I get to give away a 2014 Nebraska Annual Park Permit! Please enter below using the lovely Rafflecopter link! Next Tuesday I will introduce my next prize and will announce this week’s winner then!
P.S. A big thank you to my dear friend who donated her extra park permit for me to give away to one of you! Our family loves experiencing adventures with yours! So glad that you are a part of our lives!
Our favorite Lake to swim and camp at is Blue Stem.
I am embarrassed to say that I have not been to that lake yet. Will definitely look into that! Thanks for commenting! 🙂
I was just considering purchasing a park permit! Awesome giveaway! !!
I am thankful to my friend for donating it. This may turn into an annual giveaway – I may have to do that next year as well! 🙂
Happy blog-iversary!!!
We mostly go to Mahoney
Thanks! That tends to be our destination as well!
Our favorite State Park is Mahoney!
That is ours too! My husband and I have gone there to celebrate several of our anniversaries!
Happy Blogiversary!! Love this giveaway as we were just talking about needing to get a park permit. We could have used it on our most recent trip out to Western Nebraska.
The Nebraska Park Permit provides a ticket to adventure, relaxation and beauty! Definitely glad that we have them! 🙂
We enjoy Mahoney, but our family goal is to head to the Ashfall Fossil Beds this summer/fall.
The Ashfall Fossil Beds are amazing. I am sad that I have not made it up there with our kids yet!
