Camping!

Last weekend we went camping with 13 other families from our home school group.  We had a great time.  The kids especially enjoyed spending so much time with their friends!  The weather was perfect camping weather ~ pleasant during the day and chilly at night.  We kept a fire going the whole time we were there.

Years ago I had told H.O. I never wanted to camp in tents in an area where we needed "food storage boxes" to prevent bears from coming, but... we were definitely in bear country.  We were told bear would come through each night and as long as we kept things tidy we would not be bothered.  We did and we weren't bothered!

The group of kids, always someone to play with.

Our campsite was a mix of sand and small pebbles.  The little boys thought it was a huge sandbox.  They played from the time they woke up until bed, they had so much fun!  On our last night Seth said, "Mommy, night-night good morning no go home stay here and play."  Once I reminded him that Molly and Gracie (our dogs) would miss him he said, "OH yes, go home see Molly Gracie!"

What sweet boys!

Our last night we had a worship service, singing praises to God and hearing a challenge from God's word.

We had a wonderful weekend enjoying God's creation!  The kids are already looking forward to next year's trip!
