We took Tyler and Hannah along for the camping fun this past weekend. It was such a treat that they were able to come with us...the kids had a great time together! You never know what to expect from the 'Great Outdoors', and that is half the fun. Swarms of gnats, June Bug attacks, the occasional thunderstorm and an attempted camper infiltration by carpenter ants did not deter us from having a great time! Even a wandering 'orphan' child, who spent some time at our camp site, added to our experience. For the most part, the weather was just perfect, warm during the day and cool at night. We took the kids to play miniature golf, canoeing on a small resort lake, and LOTS of swimming at both the indoor and outdoor pools. Lou and I even enjoyed some quality time together in the pool during the 'adult swim' times....yep, no kids allowed...they had to stay out, with their sad little faces, looking at the clock and asking over and over again when they can come back in. Absolute bliss! In the evenings, we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over a nice roaring fire. The epitome of camping! I had a little bit of a hard time sleeping, what with the night forest noises and the occasional obnoxious loud neighboring camper (really, who starts blasting bad rap music at 10 pm anyway...just asking?!?). Then comes the early morning light and the birds....oh, the birds! I never heard so many, singing with such joy, at the crack of dawn! So, it was awfully nice to sleep in our own bed last night! Well, the weekend was great. I hope everyone at least got to relax a little. It was a nice way to kick off our summer traveling. I am looking forward to summer vacation so much right now!! Just 8 more school days left! Whoo Hoo!!!!
We are VERY BLESSED!!
