Leisure Lake Campground.



After Canada, we went to Joliet, IL. Our good friends, and fellow full-time RVers, the Shermans had been asking us to visit their campground for a while. We finally found ourselves close enough to their park and we wanted to see them as we had not seen them in several months. We enjoyed 2 weeks relaxing, fishing, eating out, and enjoying our friends. The park had several activities for the kids as we found ourselves there over the 4th of July weekend.

Kesley won a fishing contest and a cash prize, Tim came in 2nd. It seems the lake there was overrun by Bluegills and they enlisted the help of the children to remove them. So around 25 kids fished for 2 hours to see how many Bluegills they could catch. The fish were all relocated to a nearby river. Kelsey caught 24 fish and Tim was right behind her with 23. Altogether, 170 fish were removed from the lake.

It was a very nice visit and we enjoyed spending time there. We will definitely be visiting again.
