the happy campers...

I found these woodland scavenger hunt printables on pinterest

Joel took the weekend off and we went camping.

And it was pretty wonderful.

Even better than wonderful.

Wondermous.

But if you're picturing me eight months pregnant and sleeping in a tent, that didn't happen.

uh huh.

We rented a camphouse instead and I praised the Lord for a/c and running water.

The kids had the time of their lives.

We were right on the lake and they caught fish around the clock.

They hiked, swam, grilled, made bonfires, picnics and torches.

They even set up their tents, just because the whole idea of it was pretty cool.

But they ended up sleeping inside with us.

It just felt so good to be together.

All of us in a one room camphouse.

And the great outdoors fairly spilling into our doorway.

We needed this.

It just might become an annual getaway for us.

Astair was so set on catching a fish, and she did....eventually.  It was adorable.

barefoot and adventurous

we had the best fishing spot and our neighbors thought so, too
