Camping trip

In france there was crozon peninsula about an hours drive from our house swap there. We decided to do a camping trip there and use "these darn tents we've been hauling around for months that we got specifically for this trip". Also we heard that there were sand sail cars that you could do there, and cave boating, and a labyrinth. The way we choose our camp site was Tobin looked at a list of possible places and choose the one with the picture of a swimming pool and water slide. So on our first day (we stayed for 2 nights) we looked at when the cave boating was, and when the sand cars were and when we could do the labyrinth. The labyrinth was closed, and the sand cars were booked up for the time we were there, and we couldn't find the times for the cave boating so we went explore-driving, and found a cliff with a lot of wind called point de dinon. It was so windy you could lean on the wind blowing the opposite direction. Then when we got back my brothers and I went swimming, and it was just us there so we got the water slide to ourselves.
The next day we went to the labyrinth agin and it was open, but on the way there we passed a sign that said the times of cave boating. So we debated whether or not to do the labyrinth now, and eventually we decided we should do the maze now in case it's shut next time we got there. So we all did the labyrinth. It was owned by one guy who lived there and changed the maze and wrote the maze story every year, and he made a living off of the maze. Obviously there would be tons more people there in the summer (not when we were there) because we were the only ones there. Tobin and I were a team (Jeff said it looked like Tobin was really tall when he was on my shoulders because the maze blocked the middle only, so you could see legs walking on the bottom and Tobin's head at the top) , Lise and Jeff teamed up, and Julias went alone. There was a story that you read all of by getting to different colored flags in the maze. You had to find your way to every flag in order to finish the maze and the story. Tobin and I got all of the flags except the second to last one, Julias found most of them I think and Lise and Jeff found one flag because Lise went to the fist flag and waited for Jeff to come but he didn't know she was waiting for him so they wasted a lot of time. The funny thing was that all of us thought the maze would be pretty easy but none of us completed it. It was still really fun though.
But the time we all went back to the campsite it was bed time so we didn't get to to the cave boating but that's ok. The next day we packed up and went back home. On the way home we stocked up on a lot of cookies from Le biscuiterie

PS
I have no pictures from this camping trip, but I will get some of Jeff's on here soon hopefully.
