Gone Camping

It felt good to take off for a few days and leave the busyness of life at the curb. There is an ungoing debate in our home about camping. What is true camping? Some say hiking in and backpacking, others tent camping in the wilderness and still others like the campground idea with trailer hook ups... I say Yippee to any of the above... as long as we get away to the great outdoors, we are happy. This time we just took off and found our own place above Strawberry. Lindsey and Katie stayed home this time with things they needed to do.

Memories of the trip:
Shakes in Heber. Conrad jumps in every puddle and squeals in delight. Abby's new weird & very loud laugh. Cow pies. Walking sticks on our hike. Tin Foil dinners. It rained bucketfuls. Craw-dadding. No fish. This is a great place to get a permit and cut down wood. Paul tying Conrad up. Playing our new card games, Canadian Salad and Lucky Unders. Ashlee's swollen & itchy arm from a bug bite. Thinking Conrad is just about ready to be potty trained with his head's up 'I ewed' afterwards. This is a child's playground- Conrad throws every stick in the fire and every rock into the water. Cold mornings and nights. A sky filled with stars...
Love, Brenda
