I am totally in love with the Whale bag! I bought this bag last year on amazon, I was looking for something durable and washable to take toys and towels to the beach when camping. I found this bag and purchased it, all I can say is it is totally awesome! I just ordered my second bag. I have been struggling with a bag to take to the showers when camping that will hold mine and one childs clothes, towels, shampoo, toothbrush, etc. For some reason I never thought of using the Whale bag as that was purchased for the beach. Last weekend I used it and it worked perfect, so perfect that I purchased a second one so my husband and I can both head to the showers with our Whale bags and a kid in tow.
You can purchase the Whale bag online now and only pay $6 shipping, through amazon.com the shipping is a little over $8. I know the price of the bag seems high, but I will tell you it is worth every penny. To look at all the items they sell go to SaltwaterCanvas.com.
This bag is made of a heavy mesh that is covered in a rubber type substance, it is very durable and the website says you could put it in your washer but I can't figure out why you would do that. So far I have only shaked mine out as nothing sticks to it but if I had to wash it I think I would just wash it down with a hose. There is no "material" so there is nothing that needs to be "washed" in that sense.
Well I think I have stated how much I "LOVE" this bag enough times. :-)

Lake Shetek, MN
This weekend we went camping at Lake Shetek, MN. This has become one of my favorite spots to camp with all the beautiful trees and the water. This is our second trip to this State Park and now both times we see deer standing right next to the road. The park staff is very friendly and enjoy having activities for the children.
This trip I tried a couple of new recipes/ideas that I had found online. The first was a recipe for Apple Cobbler in the Dutch Oven. The recipe is two cans of Apple Pie filling, one bag of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Cookie mix, and one stick of butter (1/2 cup). Dump the Apple Pie filling into the dutch oven. Mix the softened butter in with the cookie mix and pour over the top of the apple pie filling. Bake in the dutch oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes turning every 13 minutes.
The end result was very good but a little sweet for my husband and I. I will probably make this again but I might try Blueberry pie filling instead to help cut down on the sweetness.
The other idea we tried was baking Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in the Pie Irons. I thought this would be something fun for the kids.
I heated the pie irons up prior to using them, then I coated them really well with butter and put a roll in the center of each iron. You need to make sure to keep turning them as they will burn easily but I did have a couple come out really nice. This picture shows one that burnt a little.
Our first night camping I noticed we again have another leak in our trailer. I am very frustrated and spent hours trying to figure out where it is coming from, hopefully I found it and sealed it. I know people get leaks in trailers but the people I know don't seem to be having as many problems we continue to have. I am wondering if fiberglass sided trailers have less issues with leaking? I just know that if we continue to have these issues I will be getting a different trailer. I would appreciate any ideas and guidance on how to help resolve or keep from continued leaking problems.
