This weekend we went camping at the Spruces. Richard and the kids went Thursday, which meant I had a whole night of peace and quiet at home. Thanks Richard!
Heather and I came up Friday afternoon, then Jeff and Ivy came up later. We had a lot of fun hanging out by the fire and playing games. Ivy even broke out her camp songs. I got to be my klutzy self and twisted my ankles while falling into a bush (not too bad of an injury though).
Saturday we went on a hike. We didn't make it all the way to the waterfall (because of the before mentioned injuries). But we got some welcomed exercise and wonderful pictures.
Late Saturday afternoon my mom came up and we had dinner, played more games and sat around the campfire. We even used our dutch oven that we got for a wedding present and have never used until now.
The whole trip was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed being with my family and being in nature. I just wished I could have showered. I felt very dirty and I know my kids were, they were practically rolling in the dirt. I guess Richard wins, I am a camper as long as I have a trailer!
The post below this one is a slide show of some of our camping pictures from this trip. Hopefully you don't think it too long. I have a hard time deciding which to post. At least I didn't put all 126 on!
